Cooking Eggs In A Toaster Oven FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions about cooking eggs in toaster ovens.

How long will it take to cook eggs in a toaster oven?

It depends on what kind of egg you're cooking and how you like your yolks cooked. Generally, it takes between 8-15 minutes for scrambled eggs, 10-15 minutes for baked eggs, 4-6 minutes for fried eggs, and 15-18 minutes for eggs in purgatory.

What temperature do you cook eggs in a toaster oven?

Most recipes call for 375°F, but you can adjust the temperature depending on your preference.

Are scrambled eggs better in a toaster oven or in a pan?

It depends on your preference. If you want to cook your scrambled eggs quickly, the toaster oven is a great option. However, if you prefer your eggs cooked slowly over low heat and don't mind taking more time, then it might be better to cook them in a pan on the stove top.

Why aren't my scrambled eggs fluffy?

It could be because you're not whisking them enough or it could be because your oven is too hot. Try reducing the temperature to 350°F and whisk longer. You can also try adding a bit of milk or cream to the eggs before cooking. Do not cook too long, as this will result in dry eggs.

Can I boil eggs directly in a toaster oven?

No, boiling eggs in a toaster oven is not recommended. It's best to boil them on the stove top instead.
