Soft-boiled eggs with perfectly creamy yolks and tender whites, made effortlessly in your air fryer. This quick and mess-free method guarantees consistent results, perfect for breakfast or as a protein-packed snack.
Ingredients
- Large eggs (as many as fit in your air fryer basket without overcrowding)
- Cold water and ice (for an ice bath)
Instructions
Prepare the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 275°F (135°C). This step ensures even cooking.
Add the Eggs: Place the eggs gently in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t touch each other.
Cook the Eggs: Air fry for 9–10 minutes for soft-boiled yolks. Adjust the time slightly based on your desired yolk consistency.
Prepare the Ice Bath: While the eggs cook, fill a bowl with cold water and add ice cubes.
Transfer to Ice Bath: When the timer goes off, carefully remove the eggs and immediately place them in the ice bath. Let them sit for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
Peel and Serve: Gently tap and roll the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water. Serve warm with a pinch of salt or your favorite seasoning.
Enjoy your perfectly cooked soft-boiled eggs!
