Tips
The easiest thing to do when making eggs in the oven is to preheat it first to 350F degrees and wait for it to come to temp. Don’t rush this process or you might end up with a soft boiled egg multiplied by several if you do. Once the oven comes to temperature, add your eggs to your muffin pan (one in each muffin cups) and place it in the oven to bake.

Why are my hard-boiled eggs hard to peel?
I swear by immediately submerging them in ice cold water in a large bowl to be easier to peel. There are some people that say fresh eggs are harder to peel than older eggs. It really all just comes down to the membrane. It connects the internal portion of the egg to the shell. I will say white are much easier to peel than brown!
Do hard-boiled eggs in the shell need to be refrigerated?
Yes, it doesn’t matter if eggs are in their shell or not because once you hard boil them, they have to be stored in the fridge from then on.

Note: if you want your yolks on the softer side you could alter timing to 25 minutes. 30 minutes will get you the color and texture shown above. This is how to cook egg whites, those are much faster with a lot less calories too.
You actually can! If you’ve ever peeled an egg and noticed a green look around the center of the yolk, this is a good indicator that you’ve overcooked your eggs. They’re still safe to eat but many people are turned off by the look of that extra green ring. Some people say that the taste varies too if they’re overcooked but that just varies on each person’s tastebuds.
If you’re worried about salmonella in eggs, you can overcome that worry by cooking your eggs to a temperature of 160 degrees. Using a thermometer will help you determine that the temperature has been met and is safe for consumption.
No, these would be too old to eat and should be thrown out. Once eggs are hard-boiled, you can enjoy them for up to 7 days as long as they’re kept in the fridge during that time. If you’re unsure of the date of an egg, don’t take the risk of eating it. It’s better to be safe than sorry. This timespan is also true if you hard boil your egg and don’t peel it right away as well. Boiled eggs can stay in their shell for consumption later for up to a 7 day time period, too.
