There is nothing tricky about boiling eggs for Easter, but there are ALWAYS those eggs that crack as they boil, or the phone rings and you forget the eggs on the stove (and they overcook and get those green “rings” around the yolks, etc.) Not a big deal, but it can be a hassle when you are preparing for a crowd.
This oven method, of cooking eggs in the shell, is not only fool proof, but the eggs come out absolutely perfect and you can make a ba-jillion at once!!
Preheat your oven to 350 and place large size eggs in a mini-muffin pan (large end down). If you don’t have a mini-muffin pan, you can use a regular cupcake pan (they they will just roll around a little more).
How long you bake the eggs depends on the size of eggs you use and how hot your oven runs. I used large grade A eggs and cooked them for 25 minutes. If you are concerned about it, just run a “test egg” to gauge how long to cook them.
When the eggs are done, use tongs to put the eggs into a bowl of ICE water (for 10 minutes) to stop further cooking.
