Air Fryer Boiled Eggs


 Ingredients & Tools:

  • Eggs, any size

  • Ice and water (for ice bath)

  • Air fryer

  • Bowl for ice bath

  • Salt, pepper, or preferred seasoning (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer

  • Set your air fryer to 270°F (130°C). If your model runs cooler, adjust to 275°F (135°C).

2. Arrange the Eggs

  • Place eggs directly in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

  • Do not overcrowd—leave space between each egg so air can circulate freely.

3. Cook to Your Preferred Doneness

  • For soft-boiled (runny yolk): 9–10 minutes

  • For medium-boiled (jammy yolk): 11–12 minutes

  • For hard-boiled (fully set yolk): 13–15 minutes

4. Cool Immediately

  • As soon as the eggs are done cooking, transfer them to a bowl of ice water for at least 5 minutes.

  • This stops the cooking process, prevents gray yolks, and makes peeling easier.

5. Peel and Serve

  • Gently tap each egg to crack the shell, then peel under cool running water if needed.

  • Enjoy as is with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, or use in salads, ramen, or toast.

Quick Tips for Success:

  • Peeling Ease: Slightly older eggs tend to peel more easily than very fresh ones.

  • Batch Prep: Cook multiple eggs at once—perfect for meal prepping.

  • Serving Ideas: Top with smoked paprika, everything bagel seasoning, or sliced over avocado toast.
