Air Fryer Boiled Eggs (Printable)

Tender whites and creamy yolks cooked quickly using the air fryer method.

# What You'll Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 6 large eggs

# Method:

01 - Preheat the air fryer to 275°F for 3 minutes.
02 - Place the eggs gently in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch.
03 - Cook the eggs at 275°F for 14 to 16 minutes, depending on preferred yolk firmness (14 minutes for softer yolks, 16 minutes for fully set).
04 - While the eggs cook, fill a bowl with ice and cold water.
05 - Transfer the eggs immediately to the ice water and let them sit for 5 minutes to halt cooking and facilitate peeling.
06 - Gently crack each egg and peel off the shell. Serve immediately or refrigerate.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No pot of water to monitor means one less thing taking up your stovetop and your attention.
  • The eggs peel so easily you'll wonder why anyone still uses the traditional method.
  • Perfect every single time, whether you prefer your yolks jammy or fully set.
02 -
  • Skipping the ice bath will cost you—those eggs won't peel cleanly, and you'll spend five minutes wrestling with the shell when you could be eating instead.
  • The 5-minute soak in ice water is exactly as important as the cooking time itself; don't rush it just because you're hungry.
03 -
  • A gentle roll on the counter before peeling creates tiny cracks all over the shell, and the membrane lifts away like it was never there.
  • If you can peel under a thin stream of running water, you'll save yourself so much frustration—the water is a secret weapon that separates the membrane naturally.
