Notes

  1. Pro tip: Cook times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model. For best results, test with 1–2 eggs the first time and cook for 15 minutes. This will help you determine the ideal timing for your specific air fryer.
  2. Cook time guide: Soft boiled: 9–11 minutes; Jammy: 12–13 minutes; Hard boiled: 14–17 minutes.
  3. For best peeling, use eggs that are 1–2 weeks old and transfer them to an ice bath immediately after cooking.
  4. Store unpeeled eggs in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  5. This recipe can be scaled to cook as many eggs as will fit in a single layer in your air fryer.
