Tender whites and creamy yolks cooked easily with air fryer technique for quick breakfast or snacks.

# What You'll Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 6 large eggs

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat the air fryer to 275°F for 3 minutes.
02 - Place the eggs gently in the air fryer basket without them touching each other.
03 - Air fry the eggs at 275°F for 14 to 16 minutes depending on yolk firmness preference: 14 minutes for slightly soft yolks, 16 minutes for fully cooked.
04 - While the eggs cook, prepare a bowl filled with ice water.
05 - Immediately transfer the cooked eggs to the ice water and let them sit for 5 minutes to halt cooking and loosen the shells.
06 - Carefully crack and peel the eggs. Serve immediately or store as preferred.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • No boiling water means your kitchen stays cool and you avoid that frantic steam.
  • The peels practically fall off, which sounds like a tiny thing until you're rushing to make lunch.
  • You can make six eggs at once and have them ready all week for whatever comes your way.
02 -
  • That ice bath is not optional—it's the reason this method actually works for easy peeling, so don't skip it thinking you're saving time.
  • The exact timing matters, but your air fryer might run slightly hot or cool, so start checking at 14 minutes if this is your first time.
03 -
  • Rolling the egg gently on the counter before you peel breaks the membrane from the white, and it saves you so much frustration.
  • If one egg cracks during cooking, it won't hurt the others—just fish it out carefully and use it for something scrambled or mixed into mayo for egg salad.
