air fryer eggs
Air fryer eggs are a quick and efficient way to prepare perfectly cooked eggs. Whether you prefer them scrambled, hard-boiled, or in an omelette form, using an air fryer makes the process simpler and less messy.
Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 whisk or fork
- 1 measuring cups
- 1 measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk or a non-dairy alternative
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- optional chopped vegetables such as bell peppers, spinach, or onions
- optional cheese
- optional herbs
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 270°F (130°C) for about 5 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk together until fully combined and frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
- If desired, stir in any chopped vegetables, cheese, or herbs to the egg mixture.
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg mixture into a suitable baking dish that fits comfortably in your air fryer.
- Place the baking dish in the air fryer basket and cook at 270°F (130°C) for 10-12 minutes, checking for desired doneness.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the baking dish from the air fryer. Let it cool for a minute before slicing and serving.
- For hard-boiled eggs, place eggs directly in the air fryer basket and cook at 270°F (130°C) for 15-17 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath for a few minutes to stop cooking.
Notes
For hard-boiled eggs, you can place eggs directly in the air fryer basket without any additional ingredients. Cook at 270°F (130°C) for 15-17 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath for a few minutes to stop cooking.
Cooking times might vary based on the air fryer model, so monitor closely the first time you try this recipe.
Feel free to get creative with the fillings for your eggs—try adding crumbled bacon, different cheeses, or fresh herbs for added flavor.
