This is a great way to poach eggs without having the egg whites get all over your pan. Plus you can make alot of them at the same time in case you need to. All it takes is a muffin tin, eggs, and your oven!
Spray muffin tins with a little cooking spray. Heat oven to 400°. While you're waiting for the oven to get to temperature, boil water - about 2-3 Tablespoons for each egg. When the oven is heated and the water is about boiling, add about 2 Tablespoons of the water to each of the muffin cups you'll be using. Then break your egg into the cup. Bake for about 7-9 minutes depending on how hard you like them. When they are done to your taste, lift the egg out of the cup with a slotted spoon or edge of a knife, making sure the egg is free from the edge of the muffin cup and spoon out. You may need to drain the extra water off on a paper towel before putting on your toasted english muffin or bread.
Preparing your eggs in the oven is quick and easy, plus you get a round egg that fits perfectly on an english muffin! (Sorry no pictures - there wasn't time because we were hungry!)

So cool! I'm going to try poaching this weekend since over-easy is not working so well for me. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the recipe! My great aunt was a caterer and she used to do eggs this way for a crowd, but I couldn't remember the specifics. You've made my Easter brunch much easier!

So excited about finding this method! Always trying to time things right with the small poaching pans is a pain. Will be trying this Christmas morning.
Brilliant! comes out better than using a pot every time!
Still brilliant- delicious and efficient for group of 7 at the beach!
Thanks for this.Even though the egg mixture still stuck to the muffin pans it's a great way to cook so many eggs at the same time when entertaining.My guests were impressed.
i am a mom of two and was looking for a quick and easy breakfast for them and myself too. thank you! sounds yummy!!
Great and simple recipe. My batch just came outta the oven, and the eggs look great. Poaching eggs in a pan has always scared me a bit, so this was refreshing...
