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 🙂

I am so excited to try this!!
Love how easy this is. I just hard cooked 36 eggs in 1/2 hour. One thing I will suggest is when you put them in the ice water use a spoon or something to gently put them in. I sort of slide mine down the side of the bowl and when they reached the others that were already in the water the shell was broken with a dime sized hole in it.
Thank you! This is my second time using this recipe and I love it! some of my friends think it is silly to heat the oven and bake them for half an hour when they can do it the “traditional” way so much faster, but I tend to be forgetful and have on more than one occasion forgotten that there was a pot of water boiling away on the stove and didn’t remember until I heard an explosion in the kitchen! OOPS! 🙂 never again. it may take longer overall but being able to put them in the oven, set the timer and walk away is awesome! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
Thank you Kelly for sharing your experience. I am so happy to hear you love this idea too 🙂
THANK YOU THANK YOU!! You have changed my egg-boiling life forever! I will never make hard-boiled eggs on the stove again. This is TRULY a game changer just like you said. Thank you again!
🙂 You are soooo welcome Sara!
Fail for me. I tried 6, baked for 30 minute and they were very very runny so I baked them for 10 more minutes, still runny. 🙁
