FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

(note to writer) choose popular frequently asked questions or things you think people would want to know.

Can you use fresh eggs to hard boil?

Yes, you absolutely can hard boil fresh eggs. We recommend using store bought eggs (older eggs) for hard boiling, however, as you’ll have more consistent results. It is also easier to peel an older egg.

Do you need to use water to cook eggs in the oven?

Yes, you need to use water for this method of cooking eggs in the oven. It doesn’t take much water and we recommend adding the water once your muffin tin is on the oven rack to avoid spilling.

Are cold eggs or warm eggs easier to peel?

Cold eggs are easier to peel. We recommend using the ice bath after cooking the eggs because this helps separate the membrane from the egg shell for easy peeling.

WAYS TO USE LEFTOVERS

If you don’t want to eat plain hard boiled eggs as a snack or breakfast, consider any of these delicious options.

  • Cobb Salad – Fill a salad bowl with chopped up romaine lettuce. Add bacon crumbles, sliced hard-boiled eggs, crumbled blue cheese (or your favorite cheese), avocado, tomatoes and any other toppings you like. Toss with your favorite dressing.
  • Deviled Eggs – Try these skinny deviled eggs.

Notes

  • Refrigerate hard boiled eggs after they have cooled. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
  • To peel eggs, gently crack all the way around the egg and peel the shell away from the egg slowly.
  • We prefer to use large eggs or extra large eggs from the store. You may use medium sized eggs but we recommend reducing the cooking time slightly. 
  • This recipe calls for 6 eggs but you can cook less at a time, or use the full muffin tin and cook a dozen eggs, no problem.
  • This recipe cooks the eggs so they have a firm yolk, without being overcooked. If you want a soft boiled egg with a runny yolk and softer egg whites, cook for less time.
