Pin #11 Hard boiled eggs in the oven

Maybe this isn’t news to you but I saw this pin and got all excited.  My son has recently discovered hard boiled eggs, at least deviled eggs anyways, and since I’m not a huge fan I don’t have a lot of practice boiling eggs.  When I tried a few times it never seemed as easy as it was supposed to be and that annoys me.  So where this felt like a foolproof way to get it done I was on board immediately.

There is nothing complicated about these directions.  Put however many eggs you want in a muffin pan and bake for 25-30 minutes at 325 degrees.  Done.

My eggs cooked closer to 30 minutes and were super duper hot for a while so I quickly plucked them from the pan and let them cool on a pot holder for a bit.  Once they were cool enough I got peeling.  The first one I did was super easy, the shell came off fast and easy.  There were a few brown spots which I assume are little burnt areas.  No biggie to me.  Then the second two eggs were a bit more annoying.  The shell was stuck to the egg really well so once I was able to peel it off a pretty thick layer of the white came with it.  So as you can see I had what looked like mini eggs.  I sliced into them easy and the yolks looked good, a little greenish on the outer part. I heard somewhere along the way that the greenish color means it was cooked too long so that makes sense here.

          

Bottom Line – Do it!

While I let them bake a little too long, the general results were still fantastic and with less room for error than boiling, though you should note I still managed to find the error!  Whatever my 1 year old eats sticks so I can’t imagine a little green yolk is going to bother him!
