Instructions
- Place the eggs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Set the air fryer to 250°F (120°C). For medium-sized eggs, cook for 15 minutes; for large eggs, you may need an additional 1-2 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and adding ice cubes.
- Once the cooking time is up, carefully transfer the eggs to the ice bath using tongs or a slotted spoon. This will halt the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes.
- Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel off the shell under running cold water to help remove any stubborn bits.
- Sprinkle a little salt on the eggs before serving for added flavor, or slice them to use in salads, sandwiches, or as deviled eggs.
Tips
- For a creamier yolk, reduce the cooking time slightly.
- Experiment with adding spices or herbs to the ice bath for a unique flavor.
