Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
- Preheat the Air Fryer (1 minute)
- Preheat your air fryer to 270°F (132°C).
- Cook the Eggs (9 minutes)
- Place the eggs in the air fryer basket. Ensure they are not touching each other to allow for even cooking.
- Cook for 9 minutes for soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks. If you prefer a slightly firmer yolk, increase the time to 11 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water.
- Ice Bath (Immediately after cooking)
- Once the eggs are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer using tongs or a spoon and place them directly into the ice water.
- Let them sit in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier.
- Peel and Serve (1 minute)
- Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel off the shell.
- Serve immediately, either halved or as is, with your choice of seasonings or dips.
