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!

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 🙂

I love baking them. I thought maybe the brown residue on the outside and the brown spots on the inside may be the difference in baking and boiling. Maybe when boiling all of this stuff is floating in the top of the water not to be seen..lol Brown spots inside and out are not a setback for me at all. Being a homeschool teacher makes me want to “learn” why not “ask” why…lol
They didn’t cook right. Room temp eggs at 325 for 30 minutes. 10 minute ice bath. First one was still uncooked in the white and yolk. I guess it would be a soft boiled egg. I have a convection oven that cooks at a steady heat. Not sure what happened. Putting the eggs back in the oven for a few more minutes hoping to salvage them. My son has a project due for school on Monday. He is making an old recipe from the Renaissance period for his English class. We cooked 2 dozen eggs.
Cooked at 325 for 30 and came out perfect! Yes maybe one or two very tiny brown spots but these didn’t effect taste at all. My husband said ” best hard boiled eggs ever”. Peeled very easy. Great tips, am now a huge fan of your blog.
Thank you, Corey! This is great!
Silicone successes?
I, too, had brown spots on the eggs whites with a metal pan.
For those who have tried with silicone products, do the silicone muffin cups work as well or better than the pans…or vice versa?
(I need to buy something.)
Thanks!
