Why Scrambled Eggs In the Oven?

We already know how everyone loves cheesy scrambled eggs in the morning. Not to mention how good they are for your little ones, considering eggs are a rich source of nutrients. Being a working mom and trying to prepare breakfast for my kids before work, is always very stressful, even when it is just cereal. Have you ever arrived at the office and smelled like a cafeteria? Well, I certainly have!

So, being capable of whipping up my family’s favorite breakfast dish without all the smell, heat, and work is a “Yes, Sir!” for me. Not having to stand over the stovetop and constantly keep an eye on eggs while keeping another eye on my kids is a dream!

Now, this is where oven-baked scrambled eggs come in. They are the perfect breakfast dish to feed the little monsters (and also the biggest of them all, my hubby), as they always turn out fluffy, cheesy, and buttery.
