You can just add salt & black pepper or just salt or even more add ons like shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder etc as you wish.

You can use this beautiful set of ramekins to bake one or more eggs separately. This is a set so if you are a family of four, you can bake one egg in each cup at the same time. I used a single serving stainless steel cup which is oven safe, but you may use any small sized oven safe single serving dish. You basically just crack and slip an egg to the greased baking dish and bake it for few minutes until the yellow and white are cooked completely.
It is so easy to do and you don't need to use many utensils as you just need to use a single oven safe dish to bake the egg. This method is especially very useful, if you are cooking something in the stove top and so the stove top is not free to fry an egg.
Many of the baked egg recipes call for many number of eggs in the recipes, but if you only need a single egg to be baked or a couple of eggs to be baked (one egg needs one single serving dish), this is the best method to do so.
how many calories in a shirred egg or baked egg?
A large sized average egg contains about 78 calories with 6 grams of protein in it and has many important nutrients, making it one of the most popular breakfast foods. When you think how many calories are there in a baked egg, if you didn't use any other ingredients while baking the egg, the baked egg will have the same calories, that is around 78 calories.
However, since we also add a teaspoon of oil here, the calories of one serving of baked egg (one single baked egg) is about 109 calories, if you follow this recipe to bake the egg! You can see the full nutrition information (approximate values) in the recipe card that is given below in the post (you can see this detailed information in the recipe card as you scroll down the post).

how long to bake egg at 325 degree fahrenheit in the oven?
The time for baking egg depends on a lot of factors like the baking cup you use, the temperature of the oven, the preferred texture of the baked egg etc. In this recipe for easy baked egg at 325 degree Fahrenheit, we can bake the egg in a small baking cup or ramekin & it only takes around 12 to 15 minutes to bake the egg.
