Calories: 72kcal
Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Parchment paper or air fryer basket liner.
Ingredients
- 4 Large eggs
- Ground black pepper for seasoning
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Start off by preheating the air fryer to 275 degrees Fahrenheit or 135 degrees Celsius for 3 minutes. You can adjust the temperature of the air fryer depending on your specific model.
- Once done, add eggs to your air fryer basket. Make sure there is space between the eggs for the air to circulate properly. Close the air fryer.
- Cook the eggs in the air fryer for 9 to 11 minutes if you aim for soft-boiled eggs. For hard-boiled and jammy eggs, you are required to keep the air frying running for 13 to 15 and 11 to 13 minutes, respectively.
- If your air fryer is set to 300 degrees Fahrenheit or 148 degrees Celsius, subtract at least to 2 minutes from the above-mentioned time. Please note that you do not get it right the first time and may need to practice for a bit to figure it out.
- In the meantime, let’s prepare the ice bath. Take a bowl and fill it half with ice. Add cold water to the ice until the bowl is ¾ filled.
- Once the time is over, remove the eggs from the air fryer basket and put them in the prepared ice bath for 4 to 5 minutes. You want them cool but not that cold.
- Finally, roll them on a hard surface to make cracks and get rid of the shell. Season the eggs with pepper and salt, and enjoy right away.
Notes
- Always leave some space between the eggs in the air fryer, so they are cooked evenly. This is because an air fryer works on convection, which means it needs air to circulate between the food for a crispy texture and perfectly cooked food. It is okay even if you have to go in batches.
- Try experimenting with the cooking time. There are many factors that may interfere with the cooking time, from the basket size to the thermostat, and the size of the eggs. So, you might need to try different temperatures to get the right texture and even cook.
- Are you someone who always ends up with a yolk with a green ring around it? Well, it is usually because the eggs are cooked for too long or at a higher temperature. To get rid of this, you might need to shorten the cooking time or reduce the temperature.
