Hard Boiled eggs are usually… boiled.
I eat a good amount of eggs, at least 4-5 every day (mostly whites), that’s a minimum of 28 eggs a week! I have eaten them in every style possible, from raw to frittata. But when I saw this technique in action it blew me away. Mostly because I never once thought to bake eggs in the oven.

- Baking your eggs gives the cooked egg a better, thicker consistency
- Baking leaves the egg less sulfurous so the egg doesn’t get smelly
- Baking and cooling makes it so the egg shell almost falls off when its time to peel
How do you do it?
Easy:
- Heat your oven to 325° F
- layout the eggs on the top rack of the oven, they will sit nicely between the bars of the oven rack
- Bake the eggs for 30-32 minutes
- Fill a large bowl with ice water and place the eggs in to cool them (this helps them peel smoothly)
- Peel and store the eggs in the fridge
