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!

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 🙂

My husband and I are always open for tips and heard about baked eggs. We googled “baked hard boiled eggs” and found this very cool site. First time here but already love it! These posts made us laugh. We are about to try our first run. We are going to put in TWO eggs and cook them for 30 minutes at 325 degrees, and then directly place them in ice water for 10 minutes. We find it extremely amusing that the people who are complaining put all of their eggs (liturally) in one basket after they were urged not to!!!! Be back in 40 minutes or so with the results! Fingers crossed 😉
🙂 Can’t wait to hear how it works out Stacie 🙂
This worked like a charm for me. I lined the muffin pan with muffin cups to avoid brown spots that others had mentioned. this seemed to do the trick. A couple were a little difficult to peel (and by difficult I mean typical hard boiled egg on the stovetop). The rest peeled perfectly. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Felicia! I am so happy you liked this 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
40 or so minutes later…….. Drum roll please!!!! Epic fail on our end. The good news. We needed the eggs for both potato salad AND deviled eggs. YES, we did do all 12 eggs but we felt it was worth the risk… LOL. The eggs cooked perfect in our case, however, the peeling part was brutal. I have come to the conclusion that boiled or baked…. I can’t peel an egg. There were brown spots, but not a deal breaker when putting your eggs in a salad or other non cosmetic egg dishes. All in all, for us it was about the same as a boiled eggs. It either cooks and peels perfect, or it doesn’t! Happy Easyer all 🙂
Thanks for reporting back in Stacie :)I am so glad the eggs cooked well for you! I wouldn’t call that an epic fail 🙂 Just a peeling problem. Thanks for giving this a try! XO
Just tried this new way of doing eggs, how fantastic..worked great. I did do a test run of one white that I purchased at the store to color and one brown egg I get from my neighbor lady who I get my fresh eggs from. The white one did peel a little harder but the shell on the brown one came off quite easily, my egg lady has told me that eggs that are at least 1 wk. old will peel easier. I just called her and she thought that I had slipped a cog, but did say she would try it “someday”. Thankyou for this wonderful hint because usually I have several that will crack open when boiling them . You can learn something new everyday. Happy Easter
Great tip! Thanks Jennie 🙂 I am so glad you liked this. Happy Easter to you too! XO
I just tried this for 30 eggs to be used for deviled eggs. I had a couple burst and one was cracked going in. They did have multiple brown spots but that doesn’t bother me. They taste fine and it’s one less pot to wash. I wish I had read all of the reviews and tried the silicon pans. Also, my eggs were fresh from the store so they were a little harder to peel. The key to easy peeling was getting under the rubbery skin and the peel came off in a large part. Also, start by cracking them at the bottom.
