Craving a perfectly soft boiled egg but dreading the stovetop babysitting? Enter the air fryer! Yes, you read that right. You can achieve that coveted runny yolk and tender white with minimal effort using your trusty air fryer.
Forget the guesswork of boiling times. Air frying offers consistent results and frees you up to tackle other breakfast tasks. Simply place your eggs in the air fryer basket, set the temperature (typically around 250-270°F) and the timer (usually 10-12 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness and air fryer), and let the magic happen.
Once cooked, immediately plunge the eggs into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. This also makes them easier to peel. Peel carefully, sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper, and enjoy! These air fryer soft boiled eggs are perfect on toast, in salads, or simply enjoyed on their own. Say goodbye to overcooked yolks and hello to egg-cellent breakfasts!
