Baked hard boiled eggs
Baked hard boiled eggs are super easy to make, completely hands off and they come out perfect! Adjust the cook time to your desired degree of doneness and have hard boiled eggs on hand to use for egg salad, deviled eggs, toasts, salads, grain bowls and more.
Yield: 12 eggs
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325.
- Place each egg in one cup of a muffin tin. (No need to spray or line the muffin tin.)
- Bake the eggs at 325 for 25-30 minutes, depending on your preferred degree of doneness. Eggs removed at 25 minutes will be slightly jammy, while those cooked for 30 minutes will be completely cooked through.
- Remove the muffin tin from the oven and immediately, carefully transfer the eggs to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Let sit for a couple of minutes in the ice bath then remove and dry off.
- Use immediately or store the extra eggs, unpeeled, in the refrigerator for up to a week. (See notes below for more storage tips.)

Notes
You can adjust the doneness of the eggs based on your preference. Eggs baked for 24-25 minutes will still be a bit jammy. Eggs baked for 30 minutes will be completely done. I usually take mine out at 27-28 minutes and they are perfect for me.
You can grab some out early if you want just a few to be more jammy and the rest to be cooked through. Just keep them separate and label them in a container in the refrigerator so you know which are which.
If your oven doesn’t cook evenly, just be sure to rotate your muffin tin halfway through so all of the eggs get done.
Make sure you transfer the eggs to an ice bath as soon as you remove them from the oven. This helps stop the cooking. Otherwise, your eggs will continue to cook and will be overdone.
This timing is based on large grade A eggs. If you have extra large eggs or a different size, you may need to slightly adjust the baking time.
Storage tips for hard-boiled eggs:
- Hard boiled eggs are best stored unpeeled, with the shell still on. Store the eggs, in the shell, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Once peeled, any extra unused eggs will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- You can keep peeled hard boiled eggs in a bowl of cold water, changing it daily, to prolong their freshness; they’ll keep for up to 5-7 days this way.
- They will also last up to 5-7 days if you keep them wrapped in a damp paper towel and placed in a sealed container.
