Breakfast eggs for a crowd, this recipe makes 12 normal servings of light, fluffy scrambled eggs. Cut everything in half and use an 8x8x2-inch glass baking dish for 4 to 6 servings. Or make them in bulk and refrigerate them, then use them throughout the week for breakfast sandwiches, burritos, in fried rice, etc.

1.
Set an oven rack in the center position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease or spray a 9x13x2-inch glass baking dish or similarly sized casserole dish that is at least 2 inches deep. Note: This recipe inflates as it nears completion in the oven, so you might place the baking dish on a jelly roll sheet to prevent a real mess in the oven!
2.
Pour the melted butter into your prepared baking dish.
3.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and salt until blended. Gradually whisk in the milk (and evaporated milk if using). If using, stir in your desired options. Pour the mixture into the baking dish.
4.
Bake the eggs uncovered. After 10 minutes, gently stir the eggs with a spatula and then bake them another 10 minutes. They will probably not be totally set yet, and you can gently stir them again if you wish. 10 more minutes and they should be about done. Test by inserting a spoon near the center. You can feel if the eggs are cooked through or if there is still some liquid down there. There may be just a little dampness on the top that will firm up as the eggs begin to cool. It is important, though, not to over-cook the eggs, as they will end up rubbery instead of fluffy. Serve immediately or cool and refrigerate for future use.
Alternate Method
As with your normal scrambled eggs, you can add all sorts of goodies to spark these eggs up a little. Try any of the following or whatever sounds good to you:
1 cup finely grated Cheddar cheese
1 cup cooked ham, beef, chorizo, bacon, etc.
1/2 cup chopped parsley, cilantro, chives, etc.
Diced mushrooms, bell peppers, green onions, etc.
Herbs or spice/herb blends
Use for leftovers
This morning I toasted and buttered a couple English muffins, then laid a couple strips of bacon and one egg's worth of these wonderful eggs on them. Made a breakfast sandwich to die for!
