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 have been wanting to try this ever since I saw it on pinterest but just never have. Tried it this morning so I could have a couple boiled eggs and fruit for a low WW points lunch. I too got a few little burn marks only where the eggs were touching the metal pan, but it didn’t matter since I was just going to slice and eat them. Easiest eggs I’ve ever peeled!!!! I did mine at 350 and they were a tiny bit dry, next time I’ll do 325 and use a silicone muffin pan 🙂
YAY Mary! I am so glad they turned out for you 🙂 Isn’t strange how easy they peel?! I have had a couple eggs from time to time that have a hard time peeling, but overall, it is still so cool how easily the peel comes off 🙂
PS… great ideas for a low WW point lunch. I think I’ll do the same today 🙂 XO
Mine are in the oven now, I think the silicone muffin tin is the answer, also I think on the peel issues even when doing it on top of the stove the easy peel depends on how fresh the egg is.
Harold McGee says in On Food and Cooking that the best thing you can do to have easy-to-peel boiled eggs is to use older eggs.
So I tried this and it worked great. One dozen perfectly cooked and peeled eggs. Our 3yr old let our puppy in to the kitchen where I had the perfect eggs sitting in a bowl on counter, the puppy ate all dozen eggs. Guess they were tasty too! I will have to try it again after I buy more eggs!
Hahaha. Puppy approved! I am glad the eggs turned out great for you Beth 🙂 XO
Will have to try this out as I love Hard boiled eggs!! Just a little worried about them exploding!! hope it does work!!
Hahaha. They won’t explode 🙂 But like I said in the post, play around with the temp with a couple eggs until you find your oven’s sweet spot.
Works!
WOW!!! This works GREAT!!! Thanx!!! 😀
