Oven Baked Hard Boiled Eggs
Oven baked hard boiled eggs yield perfect hard cooked eggs each time. Take the guesswork out of your eggs and never worry about one cracking while it’s cooking with my easy, foolproof method!
Hard boiled eggs are a staple in our house.
I almost always have some in my fridge for a grab and go breakfast or snack.
Plus we all love egg salad and this method is perfect for that.
It’s also fantastic for making a large batch of Easter eggs to dye without worrying about the shells cracking.
This set it and forget method has been my go to each and every time I need lots of hard boiled eggs.
Why bake eggs instead of boil them?
I love to bake hard boiled eggs instead of boil them for a few reasons:
- No cracked shells ever because of the more gentle cooking method
- A really easy way to make a big batch of eggs at once
- Yolks that are similar in texture to traditional boiled eggs but a touch creamier making for better egg salads
Ingredients
To make this you only need one ingredient and a couple of kitchen supplies. You’ll need:
- Eggs– Can’t make these eggs without them!
- Muffin tin– I use a 12 cup tin, but you could use smaller tins and just use less eggs or tins with more cups and use more eggs.
- Bowl– To put ice water in to stop the eggs from cooking.
- Ice and water– For an ice bath
How to Make
To make oven baked hard boiled eggs, preheat the oven to 325.
Then put each egg into its own cavity of a muffin tin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Just before taking your eggs out of the oven, fill your bowl halfway with cold water and ice.
As soon as you take the eggs out of the oven, gently place them in the ice bath for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, remove them from the ice bath and dry them off.
Peel them and enjoy them your favorite way or don’t peel them and refrigerate them to take as grab and go snacks.
How to Use Hard Boiled Eggs
You can use hard boiled ways in so many different ways. I like to:
- slice them and add them to big salads
- make cobb salad
- chop them up and top toast with them
- use them as snacks throughout the week
- make egg salad
How do you store hard boiled eggs?
You can store them in the shell or out of the shell for up to 7 days in the fridge. I like to put them in a large bowl or an empty egg carton so they are ready to go when I need them.
If you choose to store them peeled, you will need to seal them in their container so air can’t get to them. Otherwise their skins will become somewhat rubbery and potentially harder and crusty.
Tips and Tricks
- This recipe is easily halved or doubled- just use less or more eggs and a bigger or smaller bowl depending.
- Oven baked eggs works best with store bought eggs. If you are using farm fresh eggs, it will still work but may not be as consistent.
- Don’t skip the ice bath or you may overcook the eggs.
