Tired of finicky pots and unevenly cooked hard boiled eggs? Say hello to your new favorite kitchen hack: air fryer hard boiled eggs! This method is ridiculously easy, surprisingly quick, and delivers perfectly cooked eggs every single time.
Forget babysitting a boiling pot of water. Simply place your eggs (in a single layer, of course!) in the air fryer basket. Cook at 250-270°F (120-130°C) for 15-17 minutes, depending on your desired yolk consistency. For firmer yolks, go longer. For softer, slightly jammy yolks, stick to the lower end of the time range.
Once cooked, immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath. This stops the cooking process and makes them incredibly easy to peel. The air fryer method often results in shells that practically slip right off!
Enjoy your perfectly cooked hard boiled eggs in salads, deviled eggs, or as a protein-packed snack. This air fryer method is a game-changer for meal prepping and anyone who loves a perfectly cooked egg. Happy cooking!
