How long does it take to bake an egg at 350? ›

Shirred eggs, also known as baked eggs, are eggs that have been baked in a flat-bottomed dish; the name originates from the type of dish in which it was traditionally baked. Shirred eggs are considered a simple and reliable dish that can be easily varied and expanded upon.

Ways to Cook with Eggs:

Boiled, scrambled (soft or hard), poached, baked, basted, fried, shirred, coddled, pickled (as in quail eggs) and used to make omelets, quiche, frittatas, and soufflés. Eggs go into cake batters, quiches, breakfast burritos, toads-in-a-hole, and are used to make mayonnaise and hollandaise.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Pour melted butter into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Whisk together eggs and salt in a large bowl until well-blended. Gradually whisk in milk.

Cook or bake until a thermometer inserted at the center shows 160° F or a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. You may find it difficult to tell if a knife shows uncooked egg or melted cheese in some casseroles and other combination dishes that are thick or heavy and contain cheese – lasagna, for example.

While finding blood in an egg yolk might be less than ideal, it's generally safe to eat. Simply remove the blood spot with the tip of a knife or fork and toss it out. Then continue cooking with your egg as usual.

While you'd rarely find people tinkering with the name eggs Benedict, what to call a fried-egg-in-toast remains in flux today. It's earned a slew of monikers, from the strange to the provocative: bird's nest, egg-in-a-basket, the Popeye, the one-eyed jack, and in a confusing twist to Brits, a toad-in-a-hole.

“95–99% of the time, recipes are developed with large eggs.” (Of course, if a recipe is specifically formulated with a certain egg size—one famous Contessa, for example, bakes with extra-large—seek them out for the most successful result.) Egg size matters more in some baking recipes than others.

Are baked eggs healthy? ›

Boiling or baking eggs can be a healthier way to prepare eggs compared to frying them, as it does not require the use of added oils or fats. Scrambling eggs can also be a healthy way to prepare them, as long as you choose a healthy cooking oil or spray and do not overcook the eggs.

What Eggs Do in Baking Recipes. Eggs play an important role in everything from cakes and cookies to meringues and pastry cream — they create structure and stability within a batter, they help thicken and emulsify sauces and custards, they add moisture to cakes and other baked goods, and can even act as glue or glaze.

The closer your pan is to the back of the oven, the higher the temperature in the last row of eggs. Preheat over to 300 degrees and leave oven closed for at least 30 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of water per muffin cup. Place one egg in each muffin cup.

Place it in the fryer basket and preheat it for 5 minutes at 400°F (204 °C). Crack an egg to a small cup and slide the egg to the hot pan. Air fry at 350°F (177°C) for 3 minutes for a sunny side over easy fried egg. If you prefer a fried egg with medium egg yolk, add 1 more minute to the cooking time.

Most recipes suggest 350 °F. Bake until the center of the casserole reaches an internal temperature of 160 °F as tested with a food thermometer. After baking, any leftovers must be refrigerated within two hours and can be kept three to four days in the refrigerator or frozen for about three months.
