Baking eggs in the oven

Post by finchandlovebird » Tue Jan 14, 2014 10:14 am

I tried this technique, mentioned last week in one of the posts. :idea: The original post said bake eggs in cupcake tin 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
I've tried it twice now & think 20 minutes is plenty. A friend gave me a tin cupcake pan & I bake 6 at a time. I prepare 2 eggs each morning, mixed with other stuff, mashing them with a potato masher. I found the shells are crisper in this baked method & crunch up much easier.
For anyone boiling eggs, I would recommend baking them. =D>

Thanks for that update, I haven't tried it yet since I have eggfood in the freezer still. But I do want to try it.

I also tried it. I found that mine needed to go in a bit longer. I did 30 min and they were just a little softer than I would have liked. I don't have a thermometer inside my oven, so it could be that mine just runs a little cooler than the set temp.
Either way, it was WAY less hassle than boiling :)

nelloyello11 Also could be the pan; whether it's thick or thin aluminum. After the 1st try, you'll know what works best for you. I too think it's greater than boiling =D>
