Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 to 8 Eggs

Instructions

  • Add eggs straight from the fridge to the fryer basket.
  • Cook at 260°F for 14 to 18 minutes - 14 minutes for a buttery yolk and 18 minutes for a hard boiled egg. Please note, times may vary between air fryers.
  • Remove the eggs from the air fryer basket, and plunge them into an ice bath for 5 to 10 minutes. Peel the eggs and enjoy.

Notes

Play around with the time! Air fryer models vary in power, so cooking times may differ. I used a 1700-watt Instant Vortex air fryer! Use this as a guide, but plan to experiment a little—start with 1–2 eggs to find your perfect timing!
Use an ice water bath! It quickly cools the eggs to prevent overcooking and makes them much easier to peel.
Choose eggs of a similar size. For best results, use large eggs (57g/2oz). If your eggs are slightly bigger or smaller, adjust cook time by plus or minus 2 minutes.
Leave some space: Try to leave some space between each egg and avoid overcrowding the basket.
