Recipe Tips:

Once you know how to make heart eggs, follow the same steps with different types of molds. Look for stars, flowers, and more.

Be sure to adjust the cooking time to make sure the eggs are cooked to your preference.

Feel free to add more seasonings if you prefer. Garlic powder, seasoning salt, and other options would taste great with eggs.

It can be easier to carry the silicone mold on a baking sheet to prevent the eggs from spilling over. Place the mold on the baking sheet first, then crack the eggs in each hole. Next, place the whole thing in the oven and bake!

Recipe FAQs

The easiest way to make a heart egg is to bake the eggs into a heart-shaped silicone mold! Just preheat the oven, spray the mold well, crack the eggs, and bake. It’s really that simple. No fuss!

Can you make heart eggs ahead of time?

Eggs can easily be made in advance then reheated, including these cute heart eggs. Just bake them to your preference, then let them cool to room temperature before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. They reheat in about 30 seconds to 1 minute in the microwave. Just be careful not to overcook them!

There are a few different methods to make heart shape eggs including some that use a hard-boiled egg and round chopsticks. There’s a better way!

Storage Guidelines

These heart eggs are best served fresh. If you have several left over, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days.

I like to reheat them very gently in the microwave to avoid overcooking the egg yolk. They’re really handy for meal prep!

These heart-shaped eggs are a fun alternative to serving regular fried or scrambled eggs and are a great addition to any healthy breakfast.

Turn them into a complete meal by serving some toast, protein bagels, fresh fruit, yogurt, or any of these love-themed options. They’d be fantastic for a Valentine’s Day brunch!

Recipe Variations

Add meat, cheese, or veggies: Feel free to scramble the eggs and mix in chopped bacon, shredded cheese, or some minced peppers for extra flavor.
Make different shapes: You can easily form the eggs in other shapes, too! Try making star-shaped eggs, flower eggs, and more. Just be sure to use food-safe silicone molds.
Try egg white: For even more protein, try baking egg whites instead. Be sure to season well and consider adding mix-ins like shredded cheese or spinach for extra flavor.
Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter: If you don’t have a heart-shaped muffin tin, you can use a heart-shaped cookie cutter instead to make egg hearts. Simply place the cutter into your frying pan and crack the egg in the center of the cookie cutter! Be sure to spray it well to avoid sticking.
