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!

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 🙂

Awesome… turned out great! I never leave comments but after these I figured I had to. Gas oven, 330 deg (my oven is about 5 deg off), 30 minutes. I used a mini muffin pan and paper baking cups to prevent touching eggs to the pan. Cooked 14 eggs and filled empty spaces in the pan with a little water. Was a little nervous since I didn’t do a test run, just kinda went for it with a full batch. The best hard “boiled” eggs I’ve ever made and super easy to peel! I’m going to experiment and try to perfect soft boiled next week. Thanks!
That’s great Mike! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment. Let me know how the soft boiling experiment goes 🙂
Was planning on doing two test-runs in our electric oven…one egg at 330 for 30 mins, then if it came out poorly I was going to try a second test egg at 350. First test egg came out absolutely perfect…no brown spots, perfect degree of done-ness. Now doing the full batch of eggs for deviled’s and potato salad. Thanks a bunch! (for reference, I used just a plain old metal muffin pan )
This worked perfectly!
Awesome Amber, thanks for taking the time to let me know 🙂 XO
My eggs turned out perfectly, but a friend tried it with a silicone muffin tin and it didn’t work – they were still liquid according to her.
Alexa, I am so glad this worked for you 🙂 I don’t think the silicone would change the way the eggs cooked,but maybe her oven runs cooler, and she should try 330-335 for her next batch.
I tried this tonight for my deviled eggs for tomorrow. Mine were miserable. I cooked them at 325 for 30 minutes. Toward the end I heard “pops” in the over and checked to make sure they didn’t explode. They were ok but two cracked their shells. Upon shelling them, the end where the air bubble is was light brown and there were a few golden spots on the eggs. I used them anyway (because I didn’t want to throw away a dozen eggs). I hope no one will notice tomorrow. Unless I can get some troubleshooting ideas, I’m going to continue to boil my eggs. Help!
Marianne, some people have tried silicone muffin pans to help with the brown spots. There are lots of helpful tips in the comments. When you say they were miserable… did they taste ok? Are you just saying the little brown spots made they miserable?
