Air Fryer Egg Cooking: Quick, Easy, Delicious!

Air fryers are a quick and easy way to cook eggs, whether you like them fried, hard-boiled or soft-boiled. The air fryer uses convection to cook, so it's important to leave space between each egg to allow the air to circulate properly. For fried eggs, spray a pan with oil, place it in the fryer basket, and preheat for five minutes. Crack an egg into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Air fry for three to five minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk. For hard-boiled eggs, preheat the air fryer to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), place the eggs in the basket, and cook for 15 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a cold water bath to stop the cooking process.

How to make crispy fried eggs in an air fryer

To make crispy fried eggs in an air fryer, you'll need to follow a few simple steps. First, spray the pan with oil and place it in the fryer basket. Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes. Next, crack an egg into a small cup or bowl and carefully pour the egg onto the hot pan or tray. Air fry for 3 minutes for a sunny side up or over-easy egg. If you prefer a medium egg yolk, add 1 minute to the cooking time. Use a spatula with a firm tip to remove the egg.

It's important to use non-stick, oven-friendly cookware that's shallow so that the air can circulate. You can use olive oil or butter to grease the pan. Make sure to spray or grease the pan well and evenly so that the eggs don't stick.

When cooking hard-boiled eggs in an air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place the eggs in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each egg to allow the air to circulate properly. Cook the eggs for 15 minutes, then transfer them to a cold water bath until fully cooled.

When the eggs are cool but not yet chilled, remove them from the water, crack the shells, and peel, starting at the bottom/fattest part of the egg where the air bubble usually forms.

How to make hard-boiled eggs in an air fryer

You can make hard-boiled eggs in an air fryer in just a few simple steps. First, preheat your air fryer to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place the eggs in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each egg to allow the air to circulate properly. Then, cook the eggs for 15 minutes.

Once the eggs are done, transfer them to a bowl filled with ice and cold water, also known as an ice bath. This will stop the cooking process and give you full control over the doneness of your eggs. Leave the eggs in the ice bath for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are fully cooled.

When the eggs are cool but not yet chilled, remove them from the ice bath. Carefully crack and peel the shells, starting at the bottom of the egg, where the air bubble usually forms. And that's it! You now have perfectly hard-boiled eggs cooked in your air fryer.

How to make soft-boiled eggs in an air fryer

To make soft-boiled eggs in an air fryer, start by preheating the air fryer to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Spray a pan or ramekin with cooking spray and place it in the air fryer basket. Leave some space between the eggs and the pan to allow the air to circulate properly.

Crack an egg into the pan and season with salt and pepper. Place the pan back into the air fryer and cook at 370 degrees F for 4 minutes. Check to see if the yolk has reached your desired degree of firmness. If you prefer a medium egg yolk, add 1 minute to the cooking time.

Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove them from the air fryer and set them immediately into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. This will give you full control over the doneness of your eggs. Finally, when the eggs are cool but not yet chilled, crack and peel the shells, starting at the bottom where the air bubble usually forms.

How to cook eggs in an air fryer without them sticking

To cook eggs in an air fryer without them sticking, it's important to use non-stick, oven-friendly cookware. The cookware should also be shallow so that the air can circulate. Spray or grease the pan well and evenly with oil or butter so that the eggs don't stick. Leave a little space between each egg and don't overfill the air fryer so that the air can circulate properly.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

• Spray the pan with oil, place it in the fryer basket, and preheat it for 5 minutes.
• Crack an egg into a small cup or bowl and carefully pour the egg onto the hot pan or tray.
• Air fry for 3 minutes for a sunny side up or over-easy egg. If you prefer a medium egg yolk, add 1 minute to the cooking time.
• Use a spatula with a firm tip to remove the egg.
• If you're making hard-boiled eggs, transfer the eggs to a cold water bath until fully cooled, 8 to 10 minutes.

How to cook eggs in an air fryer without them rolling around

Cooking eggs in an air fryer is simple and quick, with minimal clean-up. To stop your eggs from rolling around, you can use a shallow, non-stick, oven-friendly pan or tray. Spray the pan with oil and place it in the fryer basket. Preheat for five minutes, then carefully pour the egg onto the hot pan or tray. You can also crack the egg into a small cup or bowl first, then pour it onto the pan. For a sunny side up or over-easy egg, air fry for three minutes. If you prefer a medium egg yolk, add one minute to the cooking time. Use a spatula with a firm tip to remove the egg.

If you are cooking hard-boiled eggs, preheat the air fryer to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Place the eggs in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each egg to allow the air to circulate properly. Cook for 15 minutes, then transfer the eggs to a cold water bath until fully cooled (8-10 minutes). When the eggs are cool but not yet chilled, crack the shells and peel, starting at the bottom/fattest part of the egg, as that's usually where the air bubble forms.
