When your mornings are rushed but you still want something nourishing and kind to your gut, oven-baked scrambled eggs can be a game-changer. This light and fluffy recipe isn’t just quick and easy—it’s gentle on your system and full of ingredients that help support your digestion.
Let’s explore how you can whip up this baked scrambled egg recipe with simple ingredients and a few gut-friendly tweaks, including one surprising addition: Sandhu’s Sunfiber.
Why Baked Scrambled Eggs Are Great for Gut Comfort
Traditional scrambled eggs are cooked on the stovetop, usually requiring constant stirring and attention. But when you bake your scrambled eggs, you get the same fluffy texture with less effort—and fewer ingredients that could irritate your gut. Here's why this version can be a better fit:
- Less fat required – Since you’re baking instead of frying, you don’t need as much oil or butter.
- Gentler texture – The soft, fluffy result is easy to digest.
- Customizable ingredients – You can add veggies like bell pepper for extra fiber or leave them out for simplicity.
- Oven-baked cooking method – This can create a more evenly cooked, light, and soothing texture.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Before we go through the steps, gather the following:
- 6 large eggs
- 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/3 cup finely chopped bell pepper (optional for added fiber)
- 1 scoop of Sandhu’s Sunfiber (a prebiotic fiber that can help healthy digestion)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
- Glass baking dish or baking pan
- Medium mixing bowl
- Whisk
How to Make Oven-Baked Scrambled Eggs
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. While it heats, lightly coat your glass baking dish with cooking spray to keep the eggs from sticking.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are well combined. The more you whisk, the fluffier the eggs will be once baked.
Next, pour the egg mixture into the bowl and add:
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Chopped bell pepper
- Salt and pepper
- 1 scoop of Sandhu’s Sunfiber
Whisk everything together until smooth. This step ensures the fiber mixes well with the eggs and won’t clump during baking.
Step 3: Pour and Bake
Now, pour the egg mixture into the prepared glass baking dish. Place it in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are just starting to turn golden.
Resist the urge to overbake—the key is that soft, light and fluffy texture that’s easy on the stomach.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Let the dish cool for a few minutes after removing it from the oven. Then, cut it into squares or scoop it out with a spoon. These oven baked scrambled eggs can be served with toast, avocado slices, or even just on their own.
Why Add Sandhu’s Sunfiber?
If you're looking for a subtle way to help maintain gut health without adding gritty or noticeable texture, Sandhu’s Sunfiber is a great option. It’s tasteless, mixes easily, and helps support digestion naturally. Including 1 scoop in your baked eggs gives your meal an extra fiber punch that your gut might thank you for—especially if you deal with occasional discomforts like irregularity or bloating.
Customize Your Scrambled Eggs
The beauty of this scrambled egg recipe is how versatile it is. While the base version is perfect for a gentle meal, here are a few gut-friendly variations you can try:
- Skip the cheese – If dairy doesn’t sit well with you, leave it out or use a plant-based alternative.
- Add cooked spinach or zucchini – These veggies are easy to digest when soft and provide extra nutrients.
- Use egg whites only – For a lighter version, feel free to swap whole eggs with egg whites.
- Spice it up or keep it mild – If you're sensitive to spice, just use a pinch of salt and herbs instead of pepper.
What Makes This a Gut-Friendly Choice?
Here’s a breakdown of why this baked egg dish may work well for sensitive tummies:
- High in protein – Eggs are a clean protein source and easy to digest for most people.
- Soft texture – Baked eggs come out fluffier than pan-scrambled ones, making them easier on the stomach.
- Customizable fiber level – Adding Sunfiber or veggies lets you control the amount of fiber, which can help support regularity.
- Lower in fats – Thanks to minimal oil use, this dish won’t feel heavy.
Tips for a Smooth Baking Experience
- Always whisk your eggs well for the fluffiest results.
- Grease your baking pan generously to avoid sticking.
- Use a glass baking dish for even heat distribution.
- Keep an eye on the eggs near the end—slightly jiggly in the center is okay; they’ll continue to cook as they cool.
