No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs

Ok so maybe you first saw this on social media and want to make Tik Tok eggs yourself now. Well no peel hard boiled eggs are much easier than you might think. After you make this you’ll never heat up a pot of water again. Diced and perfectly cooked to use in all sorts of recipes.

Everyone has made Instant Pot hard boiled eggs before. Maybe you let yourself get real fancy and moved on to air fryer hard boiled eggs. Both of those still involve peeling those pesky shells off at the end though. NO fun. Even after submerging in a bowl of ice water they still can be time consuming to get off, and frustrating.

SKIP all of that and just crack them right at the beginning y’all. I know, it’s like a Shark Tank “why didn’t I ever think of this moment” right?? Makes total sense to do if all you want are diced eggs to use in a recipe, or don’t care that they are round when serving to your kids in the morning.

I mean this isn’t just to add into the best chicken salad sandwich mixture. If your kids are having a sleepover, or you have a big brood yourself, you can now bake a large batch of cooked eggs and just slice into squares when done. What do kids care anyway? They always like cool stuff anyway and if you said you saw it on Tik Tok then…….

Let’s just say you’ll be the coolest chick around. 😉 Yes there are different types of eggs you can buy. If you have chickens at home (we did once) you get what you get. At the store you can find, white, free range, brown, cage free etc…. I personally always choose brown and organic but use what you like.

Ingredient Notes

You can use however many eggs you’d like, 12 fit into this 11×8″ pan that fit into a 13×9″ dish. Grab oven safe dishes so you can make less or more however you’d like. The smaller one fits into the medium size and fits 6-8 well

You will want some Water in the larger dish will help to not burn and overcook the eggs.

No Peel Hard Boiled Eggs in Instant Pot

If you wanted to cook Instant Pot egg loaf it would be a similar idea. You need an oven safe dish like a Pyrex bowl set on top of a trivet with 1 cup of water below. 6-8 eggs work for this. Seal lid and steam valve and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes with a 5 minute natural release, then let the rest out. Pour out of bowl, chop up and enjoy!

As far as seasonings use what you normally would if you were preparing over easy or Instant Pot poached eggs. I mean salt and pepper is a given but some like a bit of paprika or dry Sriracha for heat. You will need two dishes for this, one to hold water to cool nice and even and a smaller one to fit inside.

Tips for Success

They may not all crack perfectly either, that is okay. You can see here that 3 yolks busted and kinda’ spread a little, believe me it still tastes the same. Served on top of a piece of crispy toast in the oven is the best breakfast ever.

When you are done there is no need for an ice bath since there are no shells, you can just chop up and add them into all sorts of things like homemade egg salad sandwiches which we love.

Then when it is done a cutting board is handy to have. Using a knife you can loosen the edges which should be easy as long as you lightly sprayed the dish with non stick spray beforehand. You can make toast in the oven and serve this right on top with a dollop of avocado spread. OH Yes this is by far my favorite start to the day ever.

Can you make an egg loaf with egg whites?

Yes you totally could this same way, it would likely take a minute or two less time to get stiff. We talk all about how to cook egg whites here a number of different ways if you want a version with a lot less calorie and fat.

FAQ

Following our directions without shells cracked into a casserole dish and baked in the oven is WAY easier than peeling all of those buggers. Then when done and firm you just slide out and chop into small pieces on a cutting board.

Certainly, you would just need a larger dish or if you had a high sided baking sheet you could make a large batch of of our egg loaf. The hardest thing with that would be that you’d have to find an even larger pan that would fit into that could have water in it. If you didn’t the bottom and sides would get rather hard vs. the middle but could be done this way.
