Baked Hard-Cooked Eggs

Ingredients:

1 Dozen Eggs
Muffin Tin

Directions:

For anyone that may not know, the BEST way to make "hard-boiled" eggs is in the OVEN! Place the eggs in a muffin tray so they do not move around, turn the oven to 325 degrees, pop in for about 25-30 minutes and remove! Not only are they tastier, but they also are much easier to peel!
