Once cooled (5 minutes is sufficient), peel the eggs under running cold water to easily remove the shell.

The Biggest Mistake You’re Making With Hard-Boiled Eggs
Use eggs that are somewhat less fresh; an egg that is too fresh is more difficult to peel. This preparation works best if it is 5 to 7 days old.
Add a touch of salt or a dash of vinegar to the water to lessen the likelihood of breaking if a shell cracks while cooking.
Keep them in their shells in the fridge for up to a week. Once peeled, consume within 2 to 3 days.
What’s the secret? Just the ideal timing.
There’s no need to complicate things: the trick to avoiding the green ring is simple: don’t overcook your eggs… and chill them immediately. An easy habit to develop for hard-boiled eggs that are both beautiful and delicious.
Cover the pan and let the eggs soak in boiling water for 9 to 12 minutes, depending on size. For a slightly soft yolk, 9 minutes is enough. For a firm yolk, allow up to 12 minutes.
Express cooling
Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of iced water (or, failing that, very cold water). Plunge your eggs into it as soon as the resting time is over. This immediately stops the cooking process , prevents the green ring… and makes peeling easier!
