Prepare the Muffin Tin Baked Eggs Batter:

- Bake: Bake the eggs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are set and the edges are slightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Cool Slightly: Allow the baked eggs to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin tin.
