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 🙂

Don’t know about anyone else but my shells refuse to peel off and the yolk is runny even at 350
But… then you’re spending 40 minutes to do something which should only take 5.
