Oven Poached Eggs

I love poached eggs and when I’m serving a crowd, it’s easy to do a whole batch in the oven!

These are great served over avocado toast or made into a classic eggs benny or served on their own as an inexpensive and protein-rich way to start the day.

To Cook Eggs in a Steam Oven

1. To cook several eggs at once, keep them in their cardboard container and place them in a convection oven.
2. Using the steam setting, cook the eggs for 5 to 7 minutes. Let the carton with the cooked eggs in it cool for 10 minutes.

Tips for Poaching Eggs

• Set a timer for poaching eggs to be sure they don’t overcook.
• The whites will continue to cook once they are removed from the oven.
• Remove the eggs from the pan right away or the heat from the pan will continue to cook the eggs and they can become overcooked.

Notes

When you remove the eggs from the oven, they may appear to be uncooked. This is likely the water floating on top of the egg white. 

Set a timer for poaching eggs to be sure they don’t overcook.

The whites will continue to cook once they are removed from the oven. Remove the eggs from the pan right away or the heat from the pan will continue to cook the eggs and they can become overcooked.
