The question was "How do I fix this." The answer is: with a knife. Cut the eggs in half the long way. Then use a teaspoon to "scoop" out the cooked half of egg. The outside probably won't be perfect, but should hang together. The only bad thing about this is: you will probably have little pieces of shell hanging on to the cut edges, so you need to remove them carefully.

My daughter got this from a friend at work. Bring water to a boil, then gently put in eggs and boil 15 minutes. Take out and plunge in ice water. Let cool and crack and peel. We live at a high altitude so do 15 minutes. If you are at sea level, you might cook less. Works for me.

There is a "law" that, if the eggs are for egg salad, the shells will come off perfectly. If the deviled eggs are to go to something special, don't count on it! At least, that's the way it works at my house.
