Skip the pot of water and 'boil' your eggs in the air fryer! It's easy to control how soft or hard the eggs are cooked by adjusting the cook time and it's a really quick method that produces eggs that cook perfectly and peel easily.
Arrange the eggs in your air fryer basket, leaving space between each egg.
Set the air fryer to 270 degrees.
Cook the eggs between 9 and 12 minutes, depending on how hard you'd like the yolk. For a softer yolk, cook for 9 minutes. For a hard yolk, cook for 12 minutes.
Immediately remove the eggs from the air fryer and place in a bowl filled with ice water. Let cool for 10 minutes before peeling and serving.
Notes
If you're starting with cold eggs straight from the fridge, you'll likely need to add 1 minute to the cook time. We tested this recipe using room temperature eggs.All air fryers do cook differently and you may need to adjust the cook times accordingly. These temperatures and times worked well with the 2 different models of air fryers that we tested.
