Instructions
How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- Place a large muffin tin on a sturdy baking sheet.
- Carefully place one egg in each muffin cup to keep them stable while baking.
- Put the muffin tin in the oven and bake the eggs for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes.
- While the eggs bake, prepare an ice bath by filling a large mixing bowl with ice and cold water.
- Remove the eggs from the oven and use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the ice bath. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
- After cooling, gently crack and peel the eggs under running water, then enjoy.
Notes
- Use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling.
- Store unpeeled eggs in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- If peeled, keep eggs submerged in water in a sealed container and consume within 2 days.
- Check eggs at 25 minutes to avoid overcooking and greenish yolk rings.
- This method works well for any number of eggs as long as they fit properly in the muffin tin.
