Perfectly Baked Eggs: A Gourmet Oven Snack

Ingredients

- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups water (for the ice bath)
- Ice (enough to fill an ice bath)
- Slotted spoon or tongs

Instructions

1. Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 325°F (163°C). Allow it to fully preheat to ensure even cooking of the eggs.

2. Prepare the Baking Pan
Carefully arrange your whole eggs directly on the middle oven rack. If you're worried about them rolling, you can place them on a baking sheet lined with a wire rack for stability.

3. Bake the Eggs
Gently close the oven door and bake the eggs for 30 minutes. This method will yield beautifully cooked eggs with a creamy texture.

4. Prepare the Ice Bath
While the eggs are baking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with 2 cups of water and enough ice to chill the water thoroughly.

5. Transfer to Ice Bath
Once the eggs are baked, use a slotted spoon or tongs to carefully remove each egg from the oven. Immediately place the eggs into the prepared ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them sit in the ice bath for 10 minutes, allowing them to cool completely.

6. Peel and Serve
Gently crack the shells of the cooled eggs, peel them, and serve. Enjoy them plain for a classic snack or season with a pinch of salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
