Ingredients
- •Egg, Whole, Large(200g)
- •Kosher salt and ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- 1Place the eggs into the air fryer basket in a single layer (I use mine cold right from the fridge and don’t preheat the air fryer first). Insert the basket, heat the air fryer to 250°F (see notes if your air fryer does not go that low), and air fry the eggs for 15 minutes (for softer yolks) to 17 minutes (for firmer, dryer yolks). TIP: If this is your first time using your air fryer to make eggs, do 1 egg as a test; different models have different power levels and that can affect your cook time. Once you have it down, you can cook more eggs in each batch with confidence.
- 2While the eggs air fry, fill a big bowl with ice cubes and cover with water to create an ice bath. As soon as the eggs finish air frying, plunge them into the ice bath to stop their cooking.
- 3Peel: I find it easiest to tap an egg with the back of a spoon gently to crack it, then resubmerge it in the ice bath. Some water will flow between the shell and egg, making it easier to peel. Eggs are easiest to peel right away and can be refrigerated for 5 to 7 days in an air tight container. Slice and top with salt and/or pepper, or enjoy any any of your favorite recipes.
