In college I learned that the egg is the perfect protein. It’s the standard measure that they measure other sources of protein against. And I can’t argue, the egg is the perfect way to add protein to just about any recipe.

But often I don’t have time to make eggs every morning. Life is busy but that doesn’t mean I need to give up having a delicious and healthy breakfast each day. Instead I make a batch of perfectly poached eggs in the oven on the weekends to use throughout the week.

How to make oven poached eggs perfectly in muffin tins

Poached eggs are usually made in a pot of simmering water on the stove, often requiring you to have some luck and some technique. Usually there are tips about adding vinegar to the water, stirring it, using a ramekin to slowly lower the egg in the simmering water and so on.

I don’t know about you but when I’m in a rush in the morning, the last thing I have time for is a 10 step process for my eggs. Instead I use this method to make perfectly poached eggs in the oven using a muffin tin and water!

First you need to preheat your oven or toaster oven.
Next add 1 tablespoon of water to each muffin tin cavity that you plan on adding your eggs to.
Next crack an egg in each cavity that you added the water to.
Then you will simply just bake your eggs in the oven until they reach the desired doneness.
1. For runny egg yolks, you will want to bake for 10-13 minutes
2. For more done eggs (think a hard boiled egg) bake for 13-15 minutes.

One thing to note is that because you added water to the muffin tins, you will have to use a press test to figure out the doneness of the eggs (or take one out and cut into it). This is because the water will move to the top of the eggs and the eggs will appear less done than they actually are.

To remove the eggs from the pan, simply use a spoon to remove them! If you feel like they are sticking to the muffin tin, you can first go around each egg with a knife but they should easily come out with a spoon.
