For optional steaming
- 1 cup Water Optional for creating steam in the air fryer.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your air fryer to 270°F (130°C).
- Take the eggs directly from the refrigerator; there's no need to bring them to room temperature.
- Carefully place the eggs in the air fryer basket or on the air fryer rack, ensuring enough space for air circulation.
Cooking
- Cook the eggs for about 10-12 minutes, depending on your preferred yolk doneness.
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath in a bowl with cold water and ice.
- Once the cooking time is complete, quickly transfer the eggs to the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Serving

Notes
For best results, test with one egg to personalize timing for yolk doneness. Use fresh eggs for easier peeling and consider adding salt to water to prevent cracking. Air fryer performance varies, so adjust cooking time based on your model.
