Whether you want to cook breakfasts ahead of time, or cook for a crowd, this recipe for Oven-Scrambled Eggs is a great solution. Oven-scrambled eggs are a time-saver that you will love. My grandfather, a biochemist who loved to apply his field in his kitchen, maintained that the fluffiest scrambled eggs come from adding water, and not milk or cream, to the eggs. Then blending in the melted butter creates fluffy scrambled eggs with fantastic flavor!

Nutrivore Score: 259
Ingredients
- 24 large eggs
- 1/2 cup butter (1 stick) melted
- 2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Bake, stirring at the 10 minute, 20 minute, 25 minutes and 30 minute marks.
- Remove it from the oven when just slightly underdone (a bit gooey underneath when you stir it), typically at about 30 minutes, and give it a good stir to break up bigger pieces. Let it sit for 3-4 minutes before serving for it to finish cooking. If it’s not cooked enough at 30 minutes, check every 3-4 minutes until done. It shouldn’t take more than 40 minutes, even if you have very large eggs.

Notes
For storing leftovers: let the eggs cool and then move to a covered dish. If the eggs release water while they cool, discard the water (it’ll make the eggs turn green during storage). Reheat covered in a toaster oven or uncovered in the microwave.
