Ingredients

  • 6 Eggs

Instructions

Preheat Air Fryer

  • Set your air fryer to 250°F (120°C) and preheat for 5 minuts.

Cook the Eggs

  • Place eggs in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re not touching too closely.
    6 Eggs
    Six brown eggs are arranged inside the basket of a black air fryer, with a white and yellow striped towel partially visible beside it.
  • Soft-Boiled (Runny Yolk): 9-10 minutesMedium-Boiled (Jammy Yolk): 11-12 minutesHard-Boiled (Fully Set Yolk): 14-15 minutes
    A digital kitchen timer with three time displays and a small whiteboard labeled "eggs" sits on a yellow and white checkered cloth. A black dry-erase marker rests on top of the timer.

Cool the Eggs

  • Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.

  • Gently tap and roll the egg on a hard surface to crack the shell. Peel under running water for extra ease.

Notes

Storage and Reheating
  • Room Temperature : Once your eggs are cooked, do not leave them at room temperature for more than 2 hours for food safety. Set them out close to serving time and return any leftovers to the fridge right away.
  • Refrigerator: These boiled eggs can last up to 7 days in the refrigerator. Keep unpeeled eggs in an airtight container or carton, and peeled eggs in a covered container. Adding a slightly damp paper towel can help prevent them from drying out.
  • Reheating: Boiled eggs are best chilled or at room temperature, but you can gently warm peeled eggs in a bowl of very warm (not boiling) water for a few minutes. Avoid the microwave so they stay tender and do not burst.
