How do you bake an egg in the oven?

You can't really "bake" an egg in the oven in the traditional sense. Eggs are delicate and will cook very quickly in the oven, making them hard and rubbery.

However, you can cook eggs in the oven in a few ways:

1. Eggs in Ramekins:

* Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

* Grease ramekins with butter or cooking spray.

* Crack an egg into each ramekin.

* Season with salt and pepper (or other desired spices).

* Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.

2. Eggs in a Baking Dish:

* Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

* Grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

* Crack eggs into the dish, leaving space between them.

* Season with salt and pepper (or other desired spices).

* Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.

3. Eggs in a Skillet:

* Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

* Heat a skillet on the stovetop over medium heat.

* Crack eggs into the skillet, leaving space between them.

* Season with salt and pepper (or other desired spices).

* Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.

Tips:

* To get a runny yolk, bake for a shorter time.

* To get a firmer yolk, bake for a longer time.

* For a more flavorful egg, add a tablespoon of cream or milk to each egg before baking.

* Serve immediately after baking.

Remember, baking eggs in the oven will result in a different texture than pan-frying or boiling. The result will be more similar to poached eggs.
