Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).

Carefully place the room-temperature eggs into the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching if possible.

Cook the eggs based on your yolk preference: 6 to 6.5 minutes for a runny yolk, 7 minutes for a jammy yolk, or 9 minutes for a hard-set yolk.

Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice-cold water for at least 3-5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.

Gently tap and peel the eggs, or serve them in egg cups with a side of crispy toast.

Chef's Tips

Using room-temperature eggs helps prevent the shells from cracking due to the heat. For the easiest peeling, ensure the ice bath is truly cold and let the eggs sit for the full 5 minutes. Note that air fryer models vary, so you may need to adjust the timing by 30-60 seconds for your specific machine.
