I found this recipe on Pinterest recently. Some things on that site seem too good to be true, but I was willing to spend $6 on a jumbo muffin tin to try it out. Well, I am thoroughly impressed!! Look how simple it is!
Bake for 20 minutes @ 325º, and you get this!
Presto! It makes for the easiest breakfast sandwiches ever! I also tried this recently with only egg whites, and I'm pleased to say it works just as well! You use 2 egg whites per muffin cup. (I had leftover egg whites to use up after making this delicious homemade egg nog.)

Baked Egg Patties
Printable version here
6 large eggs*
Salt & pepper
1. Preheat oven to 325º. Spray a jumbo muffin pan with nonstick spray. Break one egg into each muffin well; poke yolk to crack it open. Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
2. Bake for 20 minutes, or until desired doneness. (At 20 minutes the yolks & whites are firm) Serve or refrigerate in a covered container. Reheat in microwave for about 20 seconds.
*You can either use 6 whole eggs, or 12 egg whites. If using only whites, whisk gently in a medium bowl, then pour 1/4 cup whites into each muffin cup (or break eggs open over muffin cups, using 2 eggs per cup). Baking time remains the same.
Why I love it? I have tried for YEARS to cook round egg patties like this. Nothing has turned out anywhere near this well, or as easy! This would be perfect for serving eggs to a crowd, or you could make a batch and keep them in the refrigerator for a week's worth of easy breakfasts.
Brilliant! I'll be doing this once I can eat eggs again. I buy frozen egg patties, but there's much more on the ingredient list than just eggs.
