Does Anyone Bake Their Eggs?

I found a great new way to do eggs and wanted to share. Instead of boiling them (where about 20% of my eggs broke when peeling them), I bake them, in the shell, in the oven. We eat a LOT of boiled eggs here, so it's wonderful!

It does not matter how old the eggs are, newly bought eggs peel just as easily as a week or two old eggs.

1. Put eggs straight onto oven rack.
2. Once all eggs are placed, preheat oven to 325 degrees.
3. Set timer for 30 minutes.
4. When time is up, place all eggs in an ice bath for 10-15 minutes.
5. Peel eggs.
6. Eat eggs with a smile because they were so EASY! :)

Enjoy!

    :noway: what kind of oven rack do you have that eggs can be placed upon? Mine would let the eggs fall right through. :grumble:

    I've never baked eggs in the shell, but I scramble them a little and bake them in a cupcake tray for the perfect size and shape for homemade egg mcmuffins. For extra yum, add a tablespoon of salsa and some pickled jalapeno slices.

    My wife does this. She places the eggs in a cupcake pan so they don't roll around.

    I put mine in a muffin tin and bake them. I also grease a muffin tin with coconut oil, take a piece of turkey bacon and line the edge of the tin with the bacon, put some chopped peppers, mushrooms in the bottom and crack an egg on top and bake for about 20 minutes. Soo good!!

    Pinterest has tons of ideas that I love!!!

    I whisk mine with a little milk, spray a cupcake tin with nonstick, add goodies (olives, bacon, onions, peppers, jalapenos, cheddar, etc) and bake them into actual egg muffins. I will have to try this in-shell egg technique but will definitely put them in a muffin tin -- I have terrible visions of exploded eggs all over my oven.

    I do this with sausage and cheese! Sausage, egg and cheese cupcakes for breakfast!

    If you put your hard boiled eggs in an ice bath then they will always peel easily!

    I don't bake them in the shell, but I sometimes make a little nest of spinach in a cupcake pan and crack the eggs into that and bake them...kind of an eggs Florentine kind of thing...

    Yep, pretty much the solution to the egg problem. I just run them under cold water immediately after cooking, and it works great.

    And I cook my eggs in an Egg Genie, and it is one of the best inventions of all time. Seriously. It even buzzes when it's done, no forgetting about them, no heating up an entire kitchen due to using the oven. $10-15 for this thing, worth every cent!
