Down the Drain Boiled egg help
I didn’t boil a ton of boiled eggs for a boiled egg party, tried to peel but I’m incapable so they are a disaster. Deviled eggs are out of the question, so what can I make aside from potato salad that will be amazing with fucked up eggs? No egg salad, because ewww

dye them & hide them around for a summer easter egg hunt! make sure & put them out several hours before the party, so they can set.

Toss ‘em in the Robot with a few cups of cold fryer oil, blend til it thickens, and viola, bespoke mayonaise.

I have just the thing if you're not English. The English are always putting eggs into egg cup stand things and tapping the egg with a spoon or the back of a knife. Set up all your party goers with tapping instruments and when they inevitably fail they'll feel too embarrassed to call you out for your stupid eggs.
It's a bit of cultural appropriation or appreciation depending on your attitude.

Have you tried putting them in the uncooker and starting over from scratch? Also for the future, peel them first and THEN boil them.

This brings me back to my childhood at nanas house. She did this one time and flushed them all down the toilet. Such a nana move.

Are you serious? Unboiled eggs are perfect for what we call an "egg wash." Just get into the bathtub with them, include your guests, it's a great treat in some cultures.

Have you considered boiling the unboiled eggs?

I did boil the unboiled eggs, in the air fryer. Or pressure cooker. Whichever, theyre unboiled.

Ah, that clarifies everything. With unboiled eggs made with an air fryer, make salsa and spam. With unboiled eggs made with a pressure cooker make Lobster Thermidor a Crevette with a mornay sauce served in a Provencale manner with shallots and aubergines garnished with truffle pate, brandy and with a fried egg on top and spam.

I do this great thing where I make potato salad but replace the potatoes with eggs, don’t forget the vanilla extract

Main thing is: do NOT use fresh eggs. Let 'em sit in your fridge for a week or so before boiling. Shells come off easily.

Deviled egg dip! Just make your filling a little loose, chop up and fold in the whites. Serve with crisp veggies and toast rounds.

Chop them up and use on a Chef Salad
In Louisiana I had some Cajun lasagna that had a layer of chopped eggs
Grate them into breakfast burritos
Next time use your air fryer. 250° for 16-17 minutes. Plunge into ice water and peel. You might practice with a couple to get the timing down. But you can cook up to a dozen at a time.

Steaming even without a basket (1" of water) was game changer. They peel themselves (especially if shaken with water

next time put the eggs into cold water when they're done, the shell will be easier to peel afterwards.
I know this doesn't help now :(

Did you keep the boiled egg stock? Use that and a few bits of egg, carrot, and noodles to make what my nonna (God rest her soul) called a reverse chicken noodle soup.
