How to Make PERFECT Hard Boiled Eggs in the Oven
I love hard boiled eggs.
Why don’t I make them all the time? Well, the thought of getting a big old pot of water boiling, and then timing the boiling, flame on, flame off, lid on , lid off…. UGH!
Half the time I end up timing something wrong, and end up with over cooked, hard to peel eggs. OMG…. peeling hard boiled eggs is the pits!So when I kept seeing the idea on Pinterest, of hard boiling eggs in the oven, I HAD to give it a try.
Ok people. This is a game changer. Eggs go in the oven for 30 minutes, then in a bowl of ice water to cool. That’s IT! You wanna know the BEST part? The peel practically slides off in one piece. I kid you not!

Looking for an Instant Pot Hard Boiled Egg Recipe? I have one here!
Here is what you do.
PLEASE DO A TEST RUN with a couple eggs until you figure out the correct cooking temp for your oven.
How to Make PERFECT Hard Boiled Eggs in the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. If you know your oven runs cooler, try 350 temp. Place eggs in a muffin tin to prevent them from rolling around. Cook for 30 minutes.
- After the 30 minutes, remove eggs from the oven and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. I left them in there for about 10 minutes.
- That’s it! Perfect eggs every time. I have cooked about 4 dozen so far and have had success with EVERY batch. Not an egg lover? Make sure to pin this one for Easter time.. it will be a life saver for coloring eggs 🙂

Just made these in a metal cupcake tin, 325 degrees in a gas oven, then 10 or so minutes in a large bowl of ice water. Worked perfectly! Very easy to peel and perfectly cooked through. Though I had very few, tiny brown spots I will use a silicone cup cake pan in the futrure 🙂
Great Jamie! I am so glad you liked it 🙂
Well, followed the instructions exactly and my eggs did not cook properly and peel worse than they do when I boil them. Now I need to make a mad dash to the store to buy more eggs that I boil the usual way so that my kids have something to color for Easter. I highly recommend that others do a test run before relying on this method.
Sorry to hear that Stephanie. I have URGED people to test out only a couple eggs at a time, so you can figure out what temp to cook you eggs at so you do not waste a whole dozen. For those of you missing this important part, I will change in the post to bold print 🙂
This did not work. I am very disappointed that we will not be able to eat our dyed eggs on Easter.
I am very sorry Kristin. I wish you would have done a trial run as suggested on only a couple eggs until you found the best temperature for your oven. I hope you give it a try again sometime 🙂 XO
Trying 4 right now.I don’t have mini muffins so I laid them on the side in a cupcake an with liners to hopefully keepfrom burning. We’ll see! I put them on the middle rack. Hope that’s not too high.
I was thinking of using cupcake liners to avoid the marks….did it help?
Some people have used silicone muffin tins to help with spots. I have never tried cupcakes liners, that might do the trick 🙂
