The Secret to Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs

Val Curtis

I saw this idea floating around on Facebook, and I tried to find a source. No such luck.

Honestly, I didn’t think baking eggs would work, but I gave it a go and PRESTO — it works!

I did find that some of the eggs turned a little brown on the inside, but they still tasted fine. Here’s a trick that mostly solved the problem: I added a bit of water in each muffin cup and the coloring was reduced.

To eat, just roll the eggs gently in a towel to crack the shell, peel them, and you’re good to go. For a simple lunch, add mayo, salt, pepper, and a touch of curry — it’s perfection on toast!

This preparation is so much easier than boiling eggs on the stove. With Easter right around the corner, this simple kitchen trick is a great one to have up your sleeve.
