Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 270°F (130°C) if your model requires preheating to ensure even cooking.
- Arrange the Eggs: Place the 6 large eggs in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure the eggs are not touching to allow hot air circulation.
- Cook the Eggs: Cook at 270°F (130°C) for 15–17 minutes to achieve hard boiled eggs. Adjust the time if you prefer jammy yolks—11–12 minutes is recommended for softer centers.
- Ice Bath Cool Down: Carefully transfer the eggs immediately after cooking into a bowl of ice water and let them sit for 5–10 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- Peel and Serve or Store: Peel the eggs and enjoy immediately, or store unpeeled eggs in the refrigerator for up to one week to enjoy later.
Notes
- For jammy eggs with a softer yolk, reduce the cook time to 11–12 minutes.
- Egg sizes and air fryer models vary; experiment with timing to find your preferred doneness.
- Cooling eggs in ice water is crucial for easy peeling.
