Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 2-4 whole eggs
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

Method 1: Hard Boiled

  • Preheat an air fryer to 275 F for 5 minutes.
  • Arrange 4 eggs evenly along the air fryer basket, then cook for 13 to 15 minutes.
    2-4 whole eggs
  • While the eggs cook, set up a bowl of ice water. Once the eggs are done baking, immediately place them into the ice bath. Let cool completely before peeling.
    Salt and pepper

Method 2: Soft Boiled

  • Preheat an air fryer to 275 F for 5 minutes.
  • Arrange 4 eggs evenly along the air fryer basket, then cook for 10 to 11 minutes.
  • While the eggs cook, set up a bowl of ice water. Once the eggs are done baking, immediately place them into the ice bath. Let cool completely before peeling.

Method 3: Fried

  • Preheat an air fryer to 350 F for 5 minutes.
  • Coat a baking pan small enough to fit in the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray.

  • Crack two eggs into the bottom of the pan, keeping them spread apart as much as possible. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Bake for 3 to 4 minutes until the yolks are the desired consistency, less time for over easy, more time for over medium or over hard.

Notes

  • Leave space: Don’t overfill the air fryer basket. The air needs to circulate all around the eggs to cook them evenly. If you overcrowd the basket, the air won’t flow correctly, meaning your eggs won’t cook!
  • Adjust the time as needed: Note that the cooking times will vary depending on how you're cooking your eggs, how many eggs you're making, and your air fryer. So, be sure to keep a close eye on the eggs as they cook!
