Hard boiling the eggs is the first step. See an earlier post for cooking methods here and for how long to boil eggs (I use my Instant Pot to cook the eggs). Note: you can cook the eggs up to 2 days in advance. I like to rise my peeled eggs under cold water to be sure all the shell has been removed.
