These are the best scrambled eggs I have ever had – the were the fluffiest eggs ever – how were they when I baked them in the oven – I have no idea but they were

This whole skillet – all 12 eggs was gone within 10 minutes with my family

It is well known in my family that I always eat scrambled eggs with ketchup; however, these scrambled eggs were SO good I did not even use an ounce – which is a first for me 🙂

I am VERY excited this is the 31 st from Marie the first recipe ( Spinach and Artichoke Dip Recipe ( Recipes from Marie) )

Yep this is everything you will need – this is the perfect recipe to make a large amount of eggs without too much trouble – seriously one of the easiest recipes ever.

Actually I cannot wait to make it again – for some reason the even heat from the oven really made the eggs fluffy

    I love scrambled eggs served at buffets so am excited to try this recipe. One question however: You show a can of meringue powder. Did you use some of that?

    • Sara

      It is salt 🙂

  • Sherry

    This looks so easy for when I can’t just stand around the eggs! Thanks for sharing!

  • Aimee

    I was skeptical but I loooove scrambled eggs and have never been a big fan of my own, so I wanted to try this and OMG, they really ARE the best I’ve EVER had!! I will never make them on the stovetop again! Mine took quite a bit longer, possibly because I have an electric oven, but I just kept an eye on them and stirred a few extra times and they were perfect!!

    • Sara

      I a SOOOO glad you tried the recipe – I was thinking the same thing you were…. like how would it be any different … But they are the best eggs ever

  • Mallory Roberts

    I never thought to scramble eggs by baking them in the oven – duh! So simple, and I am already thinking of variations for this recipe. Thanks for sharing – I’ll definitely think about this the next time we have family staying over!

  • Sylvia

    I can’t wait to make this recipe. I think I will add red bellpeppers, sausage,bacon and cheese to it!

  • Steph

    With the butter did you melt it first?

  • Susan

    Any way to replace the milk with something non-dairy?

  • Paula Thomas

    I’m so going to try this. Looks so good! Thanks for sharing at breakfast.

  • Cat

    Did you melt the butter first?

    • Sara

      Yes

  • Monica

    I made these and my husband said they might be the best scrambled eggs he’s ever had! I usually split the recipe and use about 5 eggs. Love it, so easy!

  • joanna

    I’ve never seen a scrambled egg recipe that called for butter (besides the small amount you’re supposed to melt into the pan before cooking for nonstick reasons). It seems odd to me and I’m skeptical to try it because it is a lot of fat being added to something that’s otherwise healthy :/ I like the idea of oven cooking the eggs. I heard it makes them super fluffy… but maybe I’ll try without butter. Can anyone tell me what the butter is for (does it make it creamier? more flavorful?) and has anyone made them without it?

    • Sara

      I never made it without butter – I am sure it could still work 🙂

  • Destiny

    I would have never thought to bake them in the oven but they were so good! Puffy too!

  • Sal

    Hey when you put the eggs in the oven how often do I stair ?

  • Laura

    You actually put them in a skillet? Can they also be put in a 9×13″ baking dish?

    • Jeannine

      Can the scrambled eggs be cooked in a 9×13 or a casserole dish?

  • April

    1 halved the recipe since I have a family of 3. Used the convection oven option and they turned out amazing. Whole family loves them

  • Karyn R Miller

    Just tried these for Mother’s Day, the BEST scrambled eggs I have ever had!!!!

  • Holly

    AH-MAZING! I used 18 eggs so I added an additional 2tbsp butter and 5oz of milk. They ended up fluffy and delicious!

  • Sweetest Things

    Success! Easy and Delicious

  • Tammie

    The best scrambled eggs ever! Trying it again and adding cheese!

  • Michelle

    My family loves these fluffy eggs! Thanks for such an easy way to make them!!

  • Nicole

    Hello, I love your poste about oven baked scrambled eggs. I have one question before trying this. Should I butter the baking dish/skillet before pouring in the eggs so that they don’t stick? Or is that what the butter was used for in your recipe already? According the instructions its just added to the eggs I think.

    thanks for your post.

  • Tammie

    Love this recipe! So easy and deliciously fluffy eggs! Only way I make scrambled eggs.

  • Laura

    Absolutely delicious….made brunch for my sons college roommate and friends before move in day. They love them. Used the convection setting on my oven and they were done in about 25 minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don’t over cook. When I pulled them out of the oven I sprinkled with fresh thyme and oregano and a few twists of cracked black pepper….served with sausage and biscuits and fruit salad.
