Y’all know I’m all about keeping things simple – especially right now.
I’m looking at feeding family of five
One husband who eats like it’s his job and three kids who eat, well, like it’s going out of style. And then there’s me – who’s keeping it keto while trying to keep it sane.
But you don’t have to be feeding a family, or follow a keto diet to appreciate how to cook eggs in the oven. That’s the beauty of this I hate to call it a recipe but what else am I going to call it thing:)
This one works for everybody. And every diet.
Eggs are a universally healthy, high protein, filling, food, and this recipe is not just low carb and keto – it’s also Paleo and Whole30 approved and has zero Weight Watchers points.
And you know what else? Even if you have folks in your house that don’t follow any eating plan, they will love these oven eggs!
What You Need To Cook Eggs In The Oven
Chances are you have everything you need on hand to make oven baked eggs happen. The must-have’s for this “recipe” are eggs, a Muffin Tin, non-stick cooking spray or butter, salt and pepper.
How To Cook Eggs In The Oven
Preheat oven to 350
Grease a regular size muffin tin with spray or butter
Crack your eggs directly into the tin (I used one egg per cup)
Season with salt and pepper if you want to
Bake for 15 minutes – or 13 if you prefer a runny yolk
How Do Baked Eggs Taste?
Amazing. Specifically, like a hard-boiled egg – only better because you didn’t have to stand over a pot of boiling water OR peel eggs.
And if you try one of the variations listed below – they taste like a mini omelet.
A Meal Prep Match Made In Heaven (Freezer-Friendly)
In case you’re wondering, yes – you can freeze these! Just be sure you use a freezer bag. Reheat them in the microwave wrapped in a napkin or paper towel for about a minute, and you’re good to go with a breakfast or high protein snack that will keep you full for hours.
Variations
This one is leftover friendly – if you have chopped ham or turkey, or extra bacon or sausage – add it in. You can also add your choice of cheese or some diced onion, bell pepper, tomato, or even zucchini if you have it.
I made the ones featured below with bacon and cheddar.

Looking For Ways To Make Sticking To Keto Easier?
I get it! I’ve lost 148 pounds on the keto diet and maintained that weight loss for eight years. Here are my top two sanity-saving recommendations.
My first step was following the recipes from Tastaholics. Their Keto in 5 kept me from second-guessing every recipe in the early stages of my weight loss journey.
Here’s the low-down on the weekly meal plans – Tastaholics will send you pre-calculated, low carb meal plans and recipes right into your inbox – no more hunting down recipes on the internet and trying to fit them together perfectly every day.
My book Rebel Keto explains how I lost weight without doing macro math at every meal. If you are a woman who is tired of trendy diet B.S. and needs a real-world roadmap to help you navigate the keto diet and drop weight like a bad habit, get your copy of Rebel Keto today.
