Soft or Hard Boiled Air Fryer Eggs
Soft or Hard Boiled Air Fryer Eggs are super easy to whip up, versatile, and way less messy than the traditional method.
Ingredients
- 8 medium eggs
Instructions
- Before you begin, make sure you have fresh, clean, room-temperature eggs. If their shells are dirty, give them a gentle rinse under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Carefully place the eggs in the air fryer basket or tray, ensuring they are not overcrowded. I can easily fit up to 10 eggs in my Cosori 6.8 air fryer.
- Set your air fryer to 135℃ (275℉). For soft-boiled eggs, cook them for approximately 9 minutes.
- For jammy eggs with a slightly firmer yolk, cook them for about 12 minutes.
- If you prefer hard-boiled eggs, cook them for approximately 15 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the eggs from the air fryer.
- Transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to cool rapidly and stop the cooking process.
- Alternatively, you can run them under cold water until they're cool enough to handle.
- After a few minutes, peel the eggs carefully or place them in egg cups and enjoy your perfectly cooked air fryer eggs!
Notes
- Make sure to use clean and fresh eggs at room temperature. If the shells are dirty, rinse them gently under running water and then pat them dry with a paper towel.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket when cooking boiled eggs to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool them down quickly and stop the cooking process. Be sure to use tongs or a slotted spoon to avoid burning yourself.
- To peel an egg easily, gently tap it on a hard surface to crack the shell all over. Then, roll it between your hands to loosen the shell. Finally, start peeling it under running water or in a bowl of water to help the shell come off smoothly.
- Play around with various temperatures and cooking times until you find the perfect doneness that suits your taste.
