Crisp-Free Air Fryer Eggs

September 23, 2026

 

Instructions

Preheat the Air Fryer
Set to 270°F (130°C). If your air fryer runs a little cool, try 275°F (135°C). Preheat for 2–3 minutes.

Arrange the Eggs
Place eggs in a single layer with some space between them so air can circulate evenly.

Set the Time
Soft-boiled (runny yolk): 9–10 minutes
Medium-boiled (jammy yolk): 11–12 minutes
Hard-boiled (fully set): 13–15 minutes
No flipping or checking needed—the air fryer does all the work.

Ice Bath
Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water. Chill for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking, preserve color, and make peeling easier.

Peel & Serve
Gently tap eggs, roll to loosen shells, and peel under cool running water. Season with salt and pepper or experiment with your favorite spices and dips.
