Air Fryer Boiled Eggs (Printable)

Tender whites and creamy yolks made effortlessly using an air fryer technique.

# What You'll Need:

→ Eggs

01 - 6 large eggs

# How to Make It:

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 each other.
03 - Cook at 275°F for 14 to 16 minutes depending on yolk preference: 14 minutes for slightly softer yolks, 16 minutes for fully cooked yolks.
04 - While cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water.
05 - Immediately transfer the eggs to the ice water and let them sit for 5 minutes to halt the cooking process and loosen the shells.
06 - Gently crack and peel the eggs. Serve immediately or store refrigerated.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • No boiling water means less steam in your face and a cleaner kitchen.
  • The shells peel off so easily you'll wonder why you suffered through the old method for so long.
  • Perfect for meal prep—make a batch and grab them all week without guilt.
02 -
  • The ice bath isn't optional—it's the difference between peeling that takes 30 seconds and peeling that makes you want to scream.
  • If your eggs have a greenish ring around the yolk, the heat was too high or they cooked too long; dial it back next time for that creamy golden center.
03 -
  • Don't skip the preheating step—it ensures even cooking from the moment the eggs hit the basket.
  • If you're cooking multiple batches, the second round cooks slightly faster since the air fryer is already warm, so watch it closely.
