Try Baking Easter Eggs Instead of Boiling

Duluth cooks: Here's a way to take the worry out of boiling eggs for Easter -- bake them instead. Use a muffin tin and place an egg (still in its shell) in each compartment. Here is the directions from a recipe inspired by Alton Brown.

Ingredients

• 1 dozen eggs
• 1 12-count standard muffin pan

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325. Place 1 dozen eggs in muffin pan. Bake 25-30 minutes.
2. Place eggs in a cold water bath until cool. Peel. Skip this step if you are dying the eggs.

Notes:

Some brown spots may appear on shells and whites from baking. The shells will wash off easily in the water bath. Any brown spots on the whites will remain.

You can peel eggs straight from the water bath. Peeling results may vary after coloring or refrigeration.

*The fresher the eggs are the more difficult they are to peel no matter what cooking method you use. If your eggs are quite fresh, I recommend hard boiling them in water with 1/2 tsp. of baking soda for easier peeling.
