Discover how to make delicious and healthy air fryer eggs with our easy-to-follow recipe. Perfect for a quick and nutritious breakfast or brunch option.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs (240 ml)
Instructions
- Warm up your air fryer to a temperature of 270°F to 275°F (132-135°C) for a duration of 5 minutes. If your air fryer cannot go below 300°F, adjust it to 300°F (148°C). It’s advisable to try cooking 1 egg initially to determine the exact timing that suits your air fryer and preference.
- Carefully place the eggs into the basket, ensuring there’s a bit of space between each one. Close the air fryer.
- Cook at 270°F (132°C) until you achieve your preferred level of doneness. For soft boiled eggs, cook for 9-11 minutes. For jammy consistency, cook for 12-13 minutes. For hard boiled texture, cook for 13-15 minutes. If your air fryer is set at 300°F (148°C), reduce the cooking time by approximately 1-2 minutes from the recommended times above. Keep in mind that you’ll need to experiment to find the ideal cooking duration for your specific air fryer.
- While the eggs are cooking, get an ice bath ready. Fill a bowl halfway with ice, then pour in cold water until the bowl is about ¾ full.
- Take the eggs out of the air fryer using tongs and place them in the ice bath for around 4-5 minutes, until they are cool enough to handle but not completely chilled (this helps in peeling them easily).
- Carefully crack the shells by gently rolling them on a hard surface to create cracks all around. Peel them and enjoy immediately or save them for later. Make sure to refrigerate them within 2 hours of cooking.
Notes
- Experiment with the cooking time to achieve the desired egg doneness in your specific air fryer.
- Use tongs to transfer the eggs to an ice bath for easier peeling.
- Ensure to refrigerate the cooked eggs within 2 hours to preserve freshness.
