So can you hard-boil eggs in the oven?

While perusing Pinterest one day, I repinned a pin on hard boiling eggs in the oven. I was shocked you could do such a thing and wanted to learn more. I am the worst offender when it comes to boiling eggs and forgetting all about them until the yolks are green and way over cooked - this could be my answer. 

This weekend I bought a dozen eggs forgetting we already had a dozen in the fridge, so Chris suggested we hard boil them for snacks and salads. I cautiously decided to give the oven method a try. To do this, I simply placed all my eggs in their individual muffin "compartments" (to prevent rolling), preheated my oven to 325 and baked them for 28 minutes. 

Following the directions from the pin, I let them sit in the pan to cool for 5 minutes and then transferred them to a water and ice bath to cool completely. I timidly peeled a shell off of one and cut the egg open. Cooked to perfection! The egg white seemed to be less rubbery too. Very tasty! 

The egg shells don't show any signs of cooking in the oven but the whites may have a few scorch looking marks on them - they still taste great. Give it try - this one works!
