Pros
Hands-off: Walk away while they cook.
Great for big batches: Perfect for meal prep or deviled eggs.
Fewer cracked eggs: No aggressive boiling to worry about.
Peeling might be easier for some.
Cons
Takes longer: 25–30 minutes plus cooling vs. 10–12 minutes on the stove.
Inconsistent results: Eggs may cook unevenly depending on your oven.
Brown spots on shells: Harmless but can look odd.
Risk of rubbery texture if overcooked.
Do Oven-Baked Eggs Taste Different?
Slightly. Whites can be firmer, and yolks may dry out if overbaked. Overcooking may also cause a green-gray ring around the yolk. This happens from a chemical reaction between sulfur and iron. It’s safe to eat but looks unappealing. Adjust oven time and temperature to avoid it.
