Cupcake and Muffin Pan/Tin

Ingredients

12 eggs

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F and adjust the oven rack to the middle position.
Place the eggs in a muffin tin and bake for 22 to 27 minutes, depending on your desired doneness.
While the eggs are baking, prepare an ice bath. Once the eggs are done baking, transfer them to the ice bath and allow them to sit for 5 minutes to fully cool.
Peel and use as desired.

Notes

Storage: Store hard boiled eggs in the refrigerator. Peeled eggs should be stored in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out and can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Hard boiled eggs in their shells can last up to a week.

Tips:

Spray the eggs with oil before baking. Spraying them with oil is not necessary but may make it easier to peel the eggs.

Adjust baking time. Experiment with the baking time to achieve your desired level of doneness. The suggested time range allows flexibility, allowing you to make soft-boiled eggs with a shorter cooking time or hard-boiled eggs when opting for the full cooking time.

Easy peeling tips: Gently tap the egg on a hard surface to crack the shell. Then, roll between your hand and the surface to loosen the shell. Start peeling from the wider end, where there's an air pocket and peel under running water to remove the stubborn shells.

Ignore the brown spots. When you peel eggs that are "hard-boiled" in the oven, you may notice a couple of small brown spots. This may just be from the egg hitting the edge of the muffin tin and does not signal spoiling, or burning and does not affect taste or texture.
