Boil first and peel.
I usually throw mine in pickled beets juice or a jar of dill pickles that's empty. Add a little vinegar and a spoon of sugar.
I know there are fancy recipes but I tell 6a I really just like them in the beet juice.
Every year I make a few gallons of pickled beets from the garden, and add boiled eggs.
But you can use pickled beets from store too. Just add a little white vinegar and sugar as you eat and add more.
Side note, i throw my okra in garden right in jar with dill pickles. Ready in a day or so and very good.

time to use any half gallon canning jars you might have empty - a wide mouth is aces for the job ...

I have never waterbathed or otherwise canned the pickled eggs. The vinegar is a good preservative. Can't say how long they last, as we all eat them up within a month lol

PW says there is no safe way to process pickled eggs if you are thinking put on the shelf without refrigeration.
The University of Georgia has a great extension service dedicated to canning and preserving food.

Here is a guy (The Townsends youtube channel) talking about methods of preserving eggs, and effectiveness... from a 18th century perspective. His channel is awesome btw. Runtime - 12:39.
edited to add - Pickling is discussed at the end.

The old country store near us always has a gallon jar of pickled eggs sitting on the counter next the the cash register. They sell the eggs individually right out of the jar for a few cents each. Never needs refrigeration.
It depends on what recipe you are using. There are a ton out there. I thought I had a thread on this in Granny's kitchen. Maybe not. But seriously, there are a bunch of recipes but my favorite is using pickled beet juice.
