Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 2 large eggs
Seasoning
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C) and let it preheat fully for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Eggs: Carefully place 2 eggs directly into the air fryer basket. Air fry the eggs for 9 to 10 minutes to achieve a perfectly soft-boiled texture with a runny yolk.
- Ice Bath: Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water or an ice bath for at least 3 minutes. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
- Peel Carefully: Gently crack the eggshells and peel them carefully to keep the soft egg intact. For best results, follow detailed peeling tips found in the original blog post.
- Season and Serve: Cut the eggs in half, sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste, and enjoy as a nutritious snack or addition to your meal.
Notes
- For firmer yolks, increase air frying time by 1-2 minutes.
- Using fresh eggs might make peeling more difficult; slightly older eggs peel better.
- Always place eggs in ice bath immediately after cooking to prevent overcooking.
- You can adjust seasoning based on personal preference or add toppings like paprika or chives for extra flavor.
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature before air frying to prevent cracking.
