How do you keep egg cups from sticking to muffin tins?

Grease the tins thoroughly with cooking spray, butter, or oil before adding the egg mixture. Alternatively, consider using non-stick muffin tins or lining them with parchment paper or silicone liners. Allow the egg cups to cool in the tins for a few minutes after baking, then gently run a knife around the edges to loosen them before removing.

Thanks for this post. Eggs Benedict is my favorite brunch food too but I never attempted to make it at home because I don't like to poach eggs--all that chasing the white around the water in the pan and trying to keep it together is too much for me. But I am totally going to try making them in the oven!

Girl, I've never made a poached egg in my life because I thought I'd screw it up. LOVE this tip about putting them in the oven! On a completely unrelated note to food, your photos are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

I have never made poached eggs in the oven before! That would definitely be easier than the batches I do. My husband LOVES Eggs Benedict.
