Air Fryer Boiled Eggs
Description
This recipe demonstrates how to prepare boiled eggs in an air fryer, starting with warming refrigerated eggs at room temperature for 10 minutes. The eggs are placed spaced apart in the air fryer basket and cooked at 270 degrees Fahrenheit. The cook time depends on the desired level of doneness: soft boiled for 7-9 minutes, medium boiled for 9-10 minutes, and hard boiled for 11-12 minutes.
After cooking, the eggs must be immediately cooled in ice water for 10 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier. The recipe also advises cracking around the center and removing each end of the egg shell before using as desired. This method avoids traditional water boiling, relying on the air fryer's circulating heat to cook eggs evenly inside their shells.
These eggs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, making them practical for meal prep or snacking. A test run with a few eggs is recommended to adjust cook times according to your specific air fryer model.
Ingredients
- 6 large egg
Instructions
- Remove the eggs from the refrigerator and let them warm on the counter for 10 minutes.
- You can place the eggs in the air fryer basket, making sure to space them out.
- Place the air fryer basket back in, set temperature to 270 degrees Fahrenheit and set the timer according to how hard you want your eggs.
- As soon as the timer goes off, have a bowl of ice water ready. Remove the eggs and cool in the ice water for 10 minutes before peeling.
- Crack the egg around the center then remove each end. Prepare as desired.
Notes
- Allow eggs to warm to room temperature before cooking for even results.
- Cooking times vary by air fryer model; test with a few eggs first.
- Immediately cool eggs in ice water after cooking to halt cooking and ease peeling.
- Store cooked eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
