Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 275°F (135°C) and allow it to heat for 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Arrange Eggs: Carefully place the 6 large eggs in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch or overlap to allow hot air circulation.
  3. Cook Eggs: Air fry the eggs at 275°F for 14 to 16 minutes. Cook for 14 minutes if you prefer slightly softer yolks or 16 minutes for fully hard boiled eggs.
  4. Prepare Ice Bath: While the eggs are cooking, fill a large bowl with ice water to create an ice bath that will stop the cooking process immediately once eggs are done.
  5. Cool Eggs: When the air fryer timer goes off, promptly transfer the eggs to the ice bath and let them sit for 5 minutes. This cooling step helps to halt cooking and makes peeling easier.
  6. Peel and Serve: Gently crack the eggshells and peel under running water if desired. Serve the eggs immediately or refrigerate for later use.

Notes

  • Cooking time can be adjusted depending on the air fryer model and personal preference for yolk consistency.
  • Do not overcrowd the basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Using an ice bath immediately after cooking is crucial for easy peeling.
  • Leftover eggs can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
