If it’s your first time, don’t do a huge batch at once! All air fryers, especially different sizes, cook slightly differently. Cook a test batch first of maybe 1-2 eggs. It’s trial and error at first and after that, you’ll know exactly what the best time and temp is in your air fryer model and the size of your eggs. This timing is for large eggs. If you’re using small, medium or jumbo eggs, adjust your time! Also, please read all our tips on the recipe write up page. Also, also, it’s easy to make a mistake and set the temperature too high! Make sure it’s at 270°F and NOT 370°F.
Place eggs in basket. Air fry at 270°F for 15-18 minutes. Set your timer! While eggs are cooking, fill a bowl with ice water.
When eggs are finished, immediately place them in the ice bath for about 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs. If it’s hard peeling, try peeling them under water. If you want your eggs more or less cooked, adjust your timing next time. If eating straight, try with an optional seasoning like salt, pepper, mustard, or hot sauce. Enjoy!
Notes
Recipes were cooked in 3-4 qt air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, the recipe might cook quicker so adjust cooking time.
If cooking in multiple batches, the latter batches may cook quicker since the air fryer is now warmer then for the first batch.
This recipe is written up with Air Fryer NOT preheated. If you preheat, use less time for the cooking.
