01 - 6 large eggs

# Cooking steps:

01 - Preheat your air fryer to 275°F for 3 minutes.
02 - Gently place the eggs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.
03 - Cook the eggs in the air fryer at 275°F for 14 to 16 minutes, depending on desired yolk firmness (14 minutes for slightly softer yolks, 16 minutes for fully set).
04 - While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl filled with ice water.
05 - Transfer the cooked eggs immediately into the ice water and allow them to sit for 5 minutes to halt cooking and loosen the shells.
06 - Carefully crack and peel each egg. Serve immediately or store as desired.

# Expert advice:

01 -
  • No boiling water means less steam in your kitchen and genuinely easier cleanup.
  • The shells peel off like they're begging to leave, even on the first try.
  • You can make six eggs in the time it takes you to pour coffee.
02 -
  • The ice bath is not optional—it's what makes these peel like they're meant to.
  • Every air fryer runs slightly different, so your first batch might need a minute more or less depending on the model.
03 -
  • Start checking at 14 minutes—overcooked is possible, so knowing your air fryer's personality matters.
  • The ice bath does the real work here; don't skip it or try to speed it up.
