You may remember my scrambled egg muffin recipe (which is basically baked scrambled eggs) from a previous post. That's what is in that muffin pan on the left in my toaster oven. What's that on the right? Why, those are eggs, silly! Didn't you know you can "hard boil" eggs in the oven? Baking intact eggs is technically not boiling since we use no water, but the results are the same. 325 for about 30 minutes (which is about as long as it takes to get the water in a big pot boiling) gives a nice result. Adjust the time accordingly if you like your eggs softer or harder. The scrambled egg muffins can go in for the same time and temp, making the most of the oven space.
FYI, the "hard boiled" baked eggs will "sweat" a smidge. They do this in boiling water, too, but you don't see it because it comes off in the water. It is nothing to be alarmed by. Enjoy your eggs!
Did I mention that I like my toaster oven?
