Baked Egg Foo Young
This is the best-baked egg foo young in the world, I promise! This is a recipe that’s been modified over the years by myself and everyone else in the world. I used to fry the scoops of veggies with the egg mixture in a little oil. Baking the mixture is so much easier, so that’s why I’m sharing the recipe today.
I absolutely love egg foo young with the gravy that my mom used to make and we would drizzle it over the fried egg patties. These have a little crunch from the onions, water chestnuts, and celery. If I could make them without meat I would like them even more often.
My husband is a meat lover so I do add whatever extra meat that is cooked, canned or leftover from another meal to the mixture. This recipe is basically a quiche, but with a lot more vegetables and chopped water chestnuts that give it a different flair than a regular breakfast quiche. It’s all about the crunch for me. And the gravy, oh my goodness I love the gravy!
This is what it looks like in a 9-inch by 13-inch pan before baking. It is so easy to make and so yummy! The most important vegetables I like to use are water chestnuts, celery, and onions. You then add whatever meat you prefer, or make it vegetarian.
Baked Egg Foo Young
Step One
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 by 13-inch pan. Combine the eggs, celery, onions, cornstarch, chopped meat, chestnuts, bean sprouts, and mix them together. Today, I am skipping the meat and adding an extra can of bean sprouts and chopped chestnuts. See how versatile this recipe is?
Step Two
Pour into the greased pan and bake uncovered for about 30-40 minutes until eggs set as desired.

Wow, that looks and sounds so yummy! Gee, I just have steak marinating in the fridge and now they don’t sound nearly as good as they did. *G* And I just used the last of my soy sauce in the marinade. I guess I’m going to have to go grocery shopping. I can’t wait to try this!
Hope you are having a great day! Hugs, Mare
Hi Mare!!! I wish I had a steak marinating in the fridge right now! LOL! That sounds fabulous! I hope your summer has been a good one! Hugs! Linda
As you know, I made this Sunday morning, for lunch for my crew Sunday night. Everyone loved it! You had said how good the sauce was, so I doubled the recipe to make sure there would be enough for the rice, too. You were so right! The sauce is great! I just wanted to let you know how much we all enjoyed it. Hugs, Mare
I am so happy I found your site and have already copied a batch of your recipes to try. This one is one I can’t wait to try and make this way. My husband always avoided trying egg foo yung when we were eating out. That was until he tried to sauce with it and so I learned made a fried version. Tasty…yes. Messy…also yes. So very excited to try it this way. You are a blessing! Thank you!
HI Violet, I’m so glad you found my site too! It’s family friendly and I love to add my reader’s comments in my posts because we can learn from each other! Happy holidays! Linda
Ok, so I finally got around to making this! Loooooove it! No frying, super easy and so delicious! I added some cooked shrimp and that sauce is perfect! Definitely a do-over!
Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
Hi Violet, I’m so glad you tried making the baked egg foo young! That gravy is the best, right?? Oh my gosh, I need to make those tonight! Happy Holidays! Linda
I love that you have this recipe and can hardly wait to make it. This is a suggestion for you should you wish to do it. The nutritional values are missing from your recipes. What is the calories, carbohydrates, fat, and protein in this recipe? I eat the Keto lifestyle and can make the necessary adjustments, but knowing the nutritional values would sure be helpful. Thanks.
Hi Pam, I realize my recipes do not show that information. I decided I had to pass on the expense of having those items in my recipe cards. I spend about $1200.00 a month maintaining my website. I had to cut corners, and that’s one place I had to skip. I’m so sorry. Linda
This is better than Take Away for sure! Thanks so much for sharing. I wasn’t sure if you were asking for green onions or white so I mixed both. Everything else was very clear.
Hi Deb, thank you for the 5 stars, my friend! I will go clarify that in the recipe, thank you!!!! Linda
