    I put the egg (in shell) on the cookie tray and have placed it in the oven at 450 F. How long should it bake for? I am nervous about overcooking it.

    found on internet - googled how to cook an egg in the oven.


    Here is what you do.
    Preheat your oven to 325. Some of the posts I found said between 325-350. My eggs turned out perfect at 325. If you know your oven runs cooler, try out a higher temp.

    PLEASE DO A TEST RUN with a couple eggs until you figure out the correct cooking temp for your oven.

    Place eggs in a muffin tin to prevent them from rolling around.
    Cook for 30 minutes.

    After the 30 minutes, remove eggs from the oven and place in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.I left them in there for about 10 minutes.

    That’s it! Perfect eggs every time. I have cooked about 4 dozen so far and have had success with EVERY batch.
    Not an egg lover? Make sure to pin this one for Easter time.. it will be a life saver for coloring eggs

    Well, that's easy. You cook it until its done.

    Just boil the damn egg OP. Seriously.

    I just keep the microwave turned on until the egg explodes, then scrape it onto my plate with a spatula.

    Picking the bits of shell out of my teeth gets tedious though - maybe I should rethink this.

    The solution would be to swallow it whole so you don't get shell in your teeth.

    What difference does it make to the taste? Baking in the shell or boiling in water, I am curious?

    It seems a very expensive way to cook an egg?

    Great, so now you're blaming global warming on eggs?

    I put mine in a mini muffin tin and bake at 325 for 30 min. Then dump in ice water. I have a double oven and put them in the smaller non-convection top oven (not sure if that makes a diff).

    Just run it through a sifter first. Or eat the eggshells. Calcium is good for you.

    Or, hell. Just swallow the entire egg, in shell, raw.

    Wait. So you just threw some eggs in the oven at a randomly chosen temperature and then went to the interwebz (to a fitness forum) to get various opinions from random people about how long you should leave them in the oven?

    No. The temperature wasn't random at all. It's the temperature that I was baking my french fries at. Duh.

    I tried this once and will never try again. The eggs turned into little egg bombs as I was peeling them. I made the mistake of leaving them on the counter to cool and my early 20-something kids had "fun" exploding them in the sink. What a waste of a dozen eggs. Oh well!
