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 🙂

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325. Some of the posts I found said between 325-350. My eggs turned out perfect at 325. If you know your oven runs cooler, try out a higher temp. Otherwise, go for the 325.

Okay everyone if do not have a gas oven you can’t cook at 325. I am going to try again at 350. I used my pampered chef stone muffin pan so nothing burnt at least. Eggs slightly undercooked and difficult to peel.
That is a great idea to cook at a high temp with an electric stove. Like I said in the post, everyone’s oven is different. So please, please, please try this out with only a couple eggs until you figure out how your oven cooks the eggs. As another reader pointed out, it’s best to use older eggs to help with peeling. Hope that helps Kerry 🙂
Just tried this came out awesome! Baked at 350 since I have electric oven. Did have brown spots but doesn’t bother me. Peeled so much easier this way. Thanks for the recipe!
You are so welcome Meg! I am glad they worked out for you 🙂 XO!
OMG!! The best idea ever! Worked like a charm!!!!.
Thanks for stopping by Kisha! I am so glad you loved this method as much as I do! XO
These are in the oven right now for our Passover seder dinner tomorrow, and I’m also making your crockpot artichokes for tonight’s dinner. Thanks Corey!!
Yay Kelly! I hope you love them both 🙂 XO
Just tried this- fail. Made one dozen to dye tonight and 6 of them cracked- one of which exploded wide open and left tiny brown spots all over the other eggs. I guess we will only be dying 6 eggs since my husband is the only one who will eat them cooked this way and I don’t want any to get wasted. 🙁
Sorry it didn’t work out the way you wanted Nicole. This is why I URGE you to only try a few eggs at a time until you learn the best oven temp for your eggs. Every oven is different. 30 minutes at 325 works perfect for me, but when we made these at my friend’s house, she had to cook hers for 30 minutes at 335.
