Things You'll Need

Ice
2 cups cold water
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325° F. Place each egg in the mold of a muffin tin, to ensure they don't roll around too much. Bake for 20 minutes.

Step 2
Prepare an ice bath by adding the ice and about 2 cups of water to a large bowl. Once the eggs are done baking, plunge them in the ice bath and allow them to soak for 10 minutes. This helps stop the cooking process.
