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 baked at 325 for 30 minutes in an electric oven. Middle rack used a regular muffin tin. Worked great.
Peeled fine under running water
Had 1 to 2 brown spots on one side of white, size of a pinhead
Need to rinse eggs before baking, did get some brown stuff, but it did wipe off.
No green ring!
So easy
I’ve done this several times. It’s GREAT! What is the fastest way to peel these eggs from the oven?
I loved this recipe. It saved so much time, but my eggs didn’t peel any easier.
A little scorching on egg shells. Otherwise awesome way to cook hardboiled eggs. Thank you
I wasn’t duly impressed with the results. I followed the instructions and the eggs were under-cooked. I re-baked them at the same temperature for an additional 10 minutes ~ still under-cooked. And these were days old, some minutes old, farm fresh eggs. Either the thermostat is off on the oven, or some other factor. I’ll stick with boiling. Hope it works better for someone else. ✟✟✟
