Air Fryer Eggs
Description
The approach begins by preheating the air fryer to 250°F, then placing eggs spaced in a single layer inside the basket to ensure even air circulation. Depending on the desired doneness—soft boiled, medium jammy, or hard boiled—eggs are cooked for 13, 15, or 17 minutes respectively. This slow, consistent heat cooks the eggs through without water or steam.
Once cooking is finished, eggs are immediately transferred to an ice water bath for 10 minutes. Cooling in ice water stops the cooking process and facilitates easier peeling by causing the egg white to contract slightly away from the shell. The resulting eggs range from soft and tender to fully set, suitable for a variety of uses.
Air fryer eggs are convenient and simple especially when boiling water is unavailable or inconvenient. They can be stored peeled or unpeeled in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week, making them a practical protein option for meal prep or snacks.

- While eggs are cooking combine ice and water to make a big bowl of ice water.
- When eggs are done remove them from the fryer basket directly into the ice bath and let them cool for 10 minutes.
- Peel and serve or store in a sealed container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
Notes
- The ice water bath after cooking is crucial for halting cooking and making peeling easier.
- This method uses no boiling water; air fryer heat cooks the eggs gently and consistently.
- Store cooked eggs in a sealed container in the fridge for up to one week.
- Arrange eggs in a single layer with room for air circulation for even cooking.
