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 was so excited when I saw this. I tried it this morning. One egg peeled perfectly while the other didn’t peel well at all. Oh well, I still feel baking them was easier. Hopefully it works better next time.
I only tried this with 4 eggs, thank goodness I didn’t do a full dozen. All 4 “blew up”??? they were farm fresh, could that be why???
I have never had any blow-up, but have heard of that happening to some people. If this has happened to anyone else, could you leave some tips?
I just tried making these with 5 eggs. FREAKING AWESOME. 1 did not peel well, and the other 4 were a breeze. I did have a few small brown spots, nothing that bothered me. I could not taste the brown spots so they were just an aesthetic blemish as far as I am concerned. these were about 6 days past the sale by date, so plenty old enough to boil. Tasted just fine to me. I will be doing this from no one as it was super easy, and eggs are super awesome and super healthy 😀
I did exactly what you said and just tried 4 the first time around even though I needed lots more for several macaroni salads. That batch worked great! My problems came with the next batch when I walked away and didn’t hear the timer! Aaahhh! I think they were in for about 40 minutes before I got back to them. They were next to impossible to peel and definitely way over done. My advice to those who are having trouble peeling: make sure you are not over cooking them! I will definitely be using this method from now on! Thanks for sharing!
I didn’t believe this, so I had to do it. I absolutely loved the way they turned out. I’ll never boil them again. So much easier. Thank you.
