Scrambled eggs seem super simple – but it can be tough to get them fluffy! I’ve found the easiest way is just to bake them and I’m going to show you how!
The other thing I love about baked scrambled eggs is that you can make enough so you can use them in breakfast sandwiches all week!
How do you make scrambled eggs in the oven or scrambled eggs in the air fryer?
In the oven – preheat the oven and let the butter melt in the pan. Then when the oven is ready, add your egg mixture (eggs, milk, seasoning). Bake for 6 minutes – stir gently – then bake for 6 minutes more. They’ll puff up REALLY BIG but once you cut into them, they deflate – but they’re still light and airy!
You can also do them in the air fryer! My air fryer is pretty small so I have a 4″ glass dish and I made some eggs in that and it worked great!
What can you make with baked scrambled eggs?
I used these in my Copycat Taco Bell Crunchwrap first – and then realized you could also use them in any breakfast sandwich recipe too! Here’s an appearance I made on Local 12 where I did a toppings bar for breakfast sandwiches with these eggs!

How to cook Baked Scrambled Eggs (or Air Fryer Scrambled Eggs)
Oven Directions
- preheat oven to 350
- put butter in 8×8 baking dish
- whisk together eggs, milk and Lawrys
- once butter is melted, spread butter all around baking dish (spray sides with non-stick spray for extra coverage)
- pour egg mixture into baking dish
- bake for 6-8 minutes – eggs will still be very runny
- stir a little to loosen off the sides
- bake for 6-8 minutes more (if they are not completely set up, bake for 3-4 minutes more checking frequently)
Air Fryer Directions
- air fry at 350 for 5 min
- stir
- air fry for 3 min more
NOTES:
– I would recommend spraying the pan in addition to using the butter
– If air frying, times may vary based on size of baking dish. I did an individual size for these times.
– You can add meat, cheese and veggies for a baked omelet
– Reheat individual portions in the microwave for 45 seconds

I saw on TT that baking soda helps fluff eggs, that’s the “tip or trick I learned that’s a everyday habit” just wanted to share 🙂

How much baking soda?

I’ve never heard of this before so I’m not sure – I don’t think it’s necessary.

I googled: one-eighth of a teaspoon per two large eggs
