Tender white and creamy yolks cooked easily in an air fryer with simple peel-off shells.

# What's Needed:

→ Eggs

01 - 6 large eggs

# How To Make It:

01 - Set the air fryer to 275°F and allow it to preheat for 3 minutes.
02 - Place the eggs gently in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.
03 - Air fry the eggs at 275°F for 14 to 16 minutes, depending on desired yolk consistency (14 minutes for slightly softer yolks, 16 minutes for fully cooked).
04 - While the eggs cook, fill a bowl with ice water.
05 - Immediately transfer the eggs to the ice water and let them sit for 5 minutes to halt cooking and facilitate peeling.
06 - Gently crack the shells and peel. Optionally, roll the eggs on the counter before peeling for easier removal. Serve or store as desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Your shells peel clean without that frustrating white membrane sticking to everything.
  • No boiling water means no steam burns on your hands or scattered hot droplets across the stove.
  • You can literally set it and forget it while you pour coffee or pack lunch.
  • Perfect doneness every single time, whether you prefer jammy centers or fully cooked yolks.
02 -
  • That ice bath is non-negotiable—it's the difference between peeling easily and wrestling with your eggs for five minutes.
  • Room temperature eggs genuinely peel better than cold eggs straight from the fridge, so plan ahead just a little.
  • The rolling-on-the-counter trick sounds silly until you try it, then you'll never peel an egg the same way again.
03 -
  • Rolling the egg gently on a hard surface before peeling creates tiny cracks that help the shell separate cleanly from the white.
  • If you're cooking eggs of different sizes, separate them by size and cook them in batches for perfect doneness across the board.
