Grease a loaf pan with olive oil.
Crack the eggs into the greased loaf pan, keeping the yolks whole if possible.
Set up a water bath by placing the loaf pan inside a larger baking pan and filling it with water up to the level of the eggs.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes.
Check if the eggs are done by shaking the pan; they should not jiggle.
Run a butterknife around the edge of the pan to release the eggs, then use a spatula to transfer them to a cutting board.
Chop the eggs into strips and then roughly chop them for egg salad.
