Yes, but it’s not recommended. Boiling is meant to cook food quickly; if you want your eggs cooked through, just let them sit in their shells until done. If you really need to boil two eggs at once, use separate pans so that one doesn’t overcook while the other sits there waiting.

You Should Never Microwave Whole Hard-Boiled Eggs. Here’s Why
If you’re looking for an easy way to heat up some of those leftover peeled boiled eggs from a family picnic or Thanksgiving dinner, don’t do it in a microwave.
Peel the egg first, snd even chop it up.
That is why microwaving whole hard-boiled eggs aren’t recommended has nothing to do with safe practice; rather, it comes down to the point that you can easily overcook them. The yolks will become tough and rubbery. That is not what I want in an egg salad sandwich.
If you try to reheat the hard-boiled egg in its shell it can explode.

Why Are My Yolks Green?
The longer time you boil an egg, the more likely you are to end up with greenish-colored yolks. So use a timer so you do not boil the egg too long or you get a jammy egg. It could also be your fresh egg, was not fresh – I would discard a cooked egg with a green center.
Other ways to cook eggs or egg dishes are

Should hard boiled eggs be peeled warm or cold?
The best way is to peel your eggs as soon as possible after cooking. I will usually put them in an ice bath. If you leave them on their shells for longer than this, it will affect how easy it is to remove the skin later. However, if you want to keep the yolk runny then leaving them on the shell until cool enough to handle is fine.

Is the Egg Still Good?
Before you make hard-boiled eggs, test using the water exam to see if the eggs are still ok. Get a large bowl of room temperature water, Put the eggs in the water one at a time. If the egg floats, it is likely gone bad. But if the raw egg sinks to the bottom and landing on its side, it is still fresh. Always use older eggs first.
If the raw egg stands on one they are still fresh enough to cook and eat but use them first.

Why are My Eggs Impossible to Peel?
The reason why your egg cooker hard boiled eggs can be so difficult to peel has nothing to do with how long you boil them but rather how quickly you try to peel them. Put them in cold water or better yet an ice bath. This causes the inside egg to contract and shrink away from the shell. Now the hard boiled eggs peel easily.
