Jane – I think it would still taste fine without the dill. However, the dill really adds a great flavor to this recipe so I do recommend that you include it if you can!
Will it taste okay if I don’t have still?

I wantt to know how to “BOil eggs in the oven”??
Yes, the time is after the eggs have been boiled. Thank you.
How is this recipe considered eating on a dime? It also states 15 minutes, is that before you boil the eggs?
