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 did this this morning and it worked out fine. I did use muffin tins with liners and still got brown spots, but no big deal, they are just for my family to eat for breakfast. I put them in cold, not ice, water and they peeled fine in a matter of minutes. For those with fresh eggs that crack easily, try using a spoon to crack the egg at the top and then bring the spoon under the shell all around the egg and the shell will come off in large pieces.
Great tip! Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
I have seen this so many times on Pinterest and I bookmarked. Then a friend tried this with complete success so I went back to find the pin only to discover the link no longer worked. Thanks to an internet search I found your blog. I tried it with 3 eggs first and had complete success! Even my 3 year old was able to peel his own egg. I’ve got a dozen in the oven now. I love this technique. Thanks for the post.
Yay! I am glad you found me 🙂 Yes, this the only way I ever make hard boiled eggs anymore…it’s so EASY!
so now what will we call them. hard baked eggs?
Turned out just fine…1 small brown spot. No big deal to me…
If you put a bit of water in the muffin tin before you bake the eggs, you’ll avoid the brown spots.
