Air Fryer Eggs – make the perfect soft to hard boiled eggs in your air fryer! Whether you like them still a little soft in the center or fully cooked, all the tips are here!
Making hard boiled eggs is one of the easiest things you can do. Getting out a pot and boiling water is not exactly hard or time consuming. But you do need to watch them a little closely and and can get cracked eggs relatively easily.
Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs used to be my favorite way to cook them. I still think it makes the easiest eggs to peel. But the air fryer is just so fast, and super easy to cook to different times depending on what your family likes.
Your air fryer really can do more than just reheat your leftover pizza or make Frozen French Fries. So many people use it just to make premade foods from the freezer. Don’t miss my Easy Air Fryer E-book that has 15 recipes all in one place.
You can make perfectly cooked Bacon in the Air Fryer, Garlic Bread, Quesadillas filled with your favorite fillings and even more!
How To Make Air Fryer Eggs
This is one of the few times that I recommend preheating your air fryer. You want it to be warm, similar to a pot of boiling water, when you add your eggs.
I set my air fryer at 280º F, and let it preheat for 3 minutes. If your air fryer does not go that low, set it to 300º F, and you will just want to subtract about a minute from the cook time of the eggs. Every air fryer is a little different though, so it may take some trial and error with your model, to get exactly what you want.
To make this recipe I used a Cosori 5.8 Qt Air Fryer. It is big enough that you can fit plenty of food in, and the basket comes out so you can easily shake, stir, or flip whatever you are making.
Once the air fryer is hot, it is time to add your eggs. I like to use a metal trivet (the one that came with my Instant Pot), so the eggs don’t roll around as they cook. Then you just cook for the length of time for your desired doneness.
Cook Times
The nice thing about the air fryer is you really experiment with the times to get your perfectly cooked egg.
- Soft Boiled Eggs: 10-11 minutes
- Jammy Eggs: 12-13 minutes
- Hard Boiled Eggs: 15 minutes
Ice Bath
Once the eggs are done cooking, you want to carefully remove them and immediately place them in an ice water bath. To make this all you have to do is fill a large bowl with ice and then add water. Adding the cooked eggs to the bath, immediately stops them from cooking, so you get the perfect doneness every time.
Let the eggs sit in the bath for 5 minutes. You want them to stop cooking and be chilled, but they don’t need to be super cold. Just cool enough to handle, so you can peel them easily.
Air Fryer Eggs Recipe Tips
- Use something to keep the eggs from moving around as the air circulates. Some air fryers are stronger than others, you don’t want the eggs bumping into each other or the sides or they will crack. I use the metal trivet that came with my Instant Pot.
- Don’t over crowd your basket. You want to leave space around each egg, so as the air circulates they cook evenly. Usually you can fit 4-6 in a basket style, or up to 8 in a tray style air fryer.
- Each air fryer is slightly different, so you may need to experiment slightly with the cooking times. Use the chart as a guide, no matter what air fryer you have, it should be within a minute of the time.
Storage
Just like when you make any hard boiled eggs, you want to store them unpeeled in the fridge until you are ready to serve them. They will last for about a week in the fridge.
How To Use Air Fryer Eggs
You can eat eggs as a snack or as part of a meal, we like to top with Everything But The Bagel seasoning, but you can use salt and pepper or whatever you normally put on eggs.
Or you can use your eggs in a recipe!
