Notes
- Preheat the Air Fryer. Always preheat your air fryer for best results and to ensure proper cooking.
- Move Quickly. The eggs need to removed immediately from the hot air fryer and into a ice water bath.
- Avoid Cooking Too Many Eggs. Do not overcrowd the basket with eggs. Leaving space between the eggs allows for air circulation and more even cooking. Cook your eggs in batches when necessary to achieve consistent results.
- Try a Test Run: All air fryers work a little differently so I suggest doing a little testing to ensure the exact cooking time. Cut it open after cooking to check for doneness and adjust your cooking time accordingly.
- Prefer Hard Boiled Eggs? Cook for 15 minutes instead!
