Making hard boiled eggs in the oven is an ingenious way to get perfect results every time.
Hard Boiled Eggs in the Oven
This my friends is a major kitchen hack! My life is changed forever!
I love, love hard boiled eggs. Now my confession. I stink at boiling them. I seriously do not know why. It’s an affliction of sorts. My hard boiled eggs come out soft boiled at least 50% of the time.
But not anymore! I saw on Pinterest recently about baking eggs in the oven in a muffin tin instead of boiling them for hard boiled eggs. What?! Yes, and it is fabulous! It you haven’t tried it yet, you must. They turned out perfect with no cracks!
Whether you are making a big batch for deviled eggs or Easter egg dying or just to each for a healthy snack, baking eggs in the oven is a game changer.
How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs in the Oven
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Place eggs in a muffin tin (so they don’t roll around)
Bake for 30 minutes
Then place in ice water for 10 minutes.
Peel eggs and ENJOY!!
Have you ever made hard boiled eggs in the oven?
Virginia says
Do you use eggs right out of the fridge or room temperature???
Sherri says
I used them right out of the fridge! 🙂
Deb Hagood says
Doing eggs this way again. Worked great!
Danielle says
I tried this, and it worked out great! The only thing is most of my eggs had brown (burnt?) marks on them. Marks were small enough to cut off. Eggs were cooked perfectly!
Rose Smith says
Disappointed, didn’t work, the eggs were not cooked all the way through.
Craig Wallace says
My Oven only goes to 260 🙁
Kathy says
325 would be F not C, in case that helps.
Stephanie says
This is my favorite way to make hard boiled eggs too! So glad you shared it! Thank you so much for linking up at Tasty Tuesday! Your recipe has been pinned to the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest board! Please join us again this week!
Patti says
Never heard of this one. When I saw the title I had to come check it out. I’m definitely going to try this one! Thanks.
Cynthia says
How cool! I love this idea. I can’t believe I’ve been making hard boiled eggs a different way for years. Thank you for linking at the In and Out of the Kitchen Link Party. Hope to see you again next week.
Karen Goodman says
I saw this on Pinterest too, but wrote it off as silly. Then when I saw your link on the Inspire Us Thursday party, it occurred to me that if I’ve got the oven on already to make something else, why not toss in a few eggs for egg salad (one of my very favorite things!). Will try it out next time I’m cooking!
Jill @ Do Try This at Home says
Interesting idea & no waiting for the water to boil! I’ve never had any trouble boiling the eggs but I do have trouble with the shells sticking now and then (even when I add baking soda, even when I ice afterward, even after ALL the tricks!). Does this method help any with that?
Sherri says
I didn’t have trouble at all with the shells coming off easily 🙂

That’s a great idea! Especially for those events when you have to make a dozen deviled eggs. Thanks for sharing! Bake on, eh!
Momfever says
Great idea! The only question I have is this: isn’t this way of boiling an egg way more expensive? You know, energy wise? Because of the 30 minutes in the oven as compared to 6 minutes on a stove?
Candace says
don’t forget the time it takes to boil water, plus you can’t fit a dozen in the pot at one time.
Kelly says
My favorite way to make eggs!
Swathi says
That is wonderful tip, I will try it, thanks for sharing with Hearth and Soul blog hop, pinning and sharing it in the FB.
Melanie says
Great tip! We would love for you to share at the Caffeinated Crafters Link Party here: http://artzycreations.com/caffeinated-crafters-link-party-9/
Sinea Pies says
Wow, I love this! When I discovered that I could fry bacon in the oven, it was liberating. Now I can do the eggs in there too! Yipee
Beverly says
Wow, what a great idea. I have never heard of this, but I am going to try it.
Thanks for sharing,

Funny, I just did a post and link on how too cook hard boiled eggs in the rice cooker since I didn’t care for the oven method 🙂 … the rice cooker is nice as it doesn’t heat up the kitchen! 🙂
Karen says
I just love ideas like this, and this one is so smart. If I’ve got the oven on already, why not? Thanks for sharing such a great tip. I’m pinning!
Ginnie says
This is such a cool idea! I will definitely be trying it soon:)
Elise @frugalfarmwife.com says
Wow, they look perfect! What an awesome idea for when you need lots of boiled eggs. I could have used this for making my son’s birthday party egg salad sandwiches. 🙂
Danielle says
What a great tip! I would love to have you link it up to my Feature Friday Link Palooza!

This reminds me of when I lived in Thailand, one of my favourite things they sell on the beach, in terms of food, is cooked eggs. The sellers carry small portable homemade BBQs and cook the eggs, in their shells, over them. Yummy!
Daphne says
Good Morning Sherri, I received your email in my intray, and I was intrigued, because I thought I knew how to boil an egg…. but this is a revelation I can honestly say I have never heard of cooking hard boiled eggs in the oven. This I am absolutely going to be trying.
Thank you to you Sherri, for sharing this and thank you to whoever pinned this information….. I really feel there are going to be lots of people trying this method.
Best Wishes to you.
