Tips

  • Water takes up space between egg proteins, prohibiting them from binding too tightly and getting rubbery when cooked.
  • Baking in a shallow water bath lowers the temperature surrounding the pan, preventing the edges of the eggs from overcooking while the middle gradually sets up.
  • To reheat, microwave on 50% power for a couple of minutes to keep them creamy and moist.
  • Store eggs in the refrigerator, separated by parchment paper, for easy grab-and-go breakfast sandwiches.
  • The water bath should be shallow, just enough to surround the pan without submerging it too much.
  • Cooked eggs can be used right away or stored for later use.
  • Ensure eggs are slightly cooled before cutting into squares.
  • Use parchment paper to separate the egg squares when stacking for storage to prevent sticking.
  • Microwave reheating on 50% power helps maintain texture and prevents overcooking during reheating.
