“Hard-Boiled” Eggs

 

Skip the pot of boiling water and try making your “hard-boiled” eggs in the toaster oven.

You can make the perfect hard-boiled egg in your toaster oven.  Preheat it to 325 degrees F.  Put three to five eggs directly on the toaster oven rack (parallel to the rack so they won’t roll out).  Bake for approximately 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes take them out and immediately immerse them in ice water.  Leave them to soak until they are cold, about 15 minutes.

The eggs will be easy to peel.  You may see some scorch marks, but that won’t affect the taste.
