Scale
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs (room temperature)
Instructions
- Arrange the eggs: Place the 6 large eggs in the air fryer basket, making sure to leave space between each egg to allow even air circulation and cooking.
- Set air fryer temperature: Preheat or set your air fryer to 270°F (approximately 132°C), which is the ideal temperature for cooking eggs through gently without cracking.
- Cook the eggs: Cook the eggs for 9 to 12 minutes depending on your preferred yolk consistency. For softer, slightly runny yolks, cook for 9 minutes; for fully set hard yolks, extend cooking to 12 minutes.
- Cool the eggs: Immediately after cooking, transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier. Let them cool in the ice bath for 10 minutes before peeling and serving.
Notes
- Using room temperature eggs helps prevent cracking and ensures even cooking.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your specific air fryer model.
- Cooling eggs in ice water is essential to achieve clean peeling and preserve the yolk texture.
- Store leftover cooked eggs in the refrigerator within 2 hours and consume within one week.
