Air Fryer Eggs (Boiled Eggs)
Description
The recipe uses an air fryer preheated to 250°F to cook eggs in a single layer without water. Eggs are cooked for the specified time to reach the desired doneness. After cooking, an ice bath helps cool the eggs quickly and prevents overcooking, while making peeling easier by contracting the egg inside the shell.
The dry heat approach promotes consistent cooking; however, different air fryer brands and sizes can vary, so testing a small batch before cooking many eggs helps achieve preferred results. The eggs are peeled under cold running water to loosen the shell and reveal tender whites with yolks ranging from soft to fully firm depending on cook time.
This technique suits cooks looking for an alternative to traditional boiled eggs without needing a pot of water and stovetop attention. Eggs cooked this way can be used similarly to regular boiled eggs in salads, breakfasts, or snacks.
Soft and medium jammy eggs are also achievable here with shorter cooking times, offering a range of textures using the same air fryer method.
Ingredients
- 6 large egg or as many as desired
- ice
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 250°F.
- Place eggs in the air fryer basket (no water needed) in a single layer.
- For hard-cooked eggs, cook 16-18 minutes.
- Once the air fryer stops, place the eggs in an ice bath for 5 minutes. Peel under cold running water and enjoy.
Notes
- Test one or two eggs first to find the ideal cook time for your specific air fryer model and egg size.
- Cook times are based on large eggs taken directly from the refrigerator.
- 11-12 minutes yields soft eggs; 13-14 minutes yields medium jammy eggs; 16-18 minutes yields hard-cooked eggs.
- Peeling eggs under cold running water helps remove the shell cleanly.
