Air fryer eggs are a game-changer and my new favorite way to make them. No water involved! No more boiling eggs as I never know if they have cooked long enough and then the peeling process worries me as I can never get the shell to come off without demolishing the egg! Just put the eggs in the air fryer; set the time and temperature, and you can walk away until they are cooked.
Cooked at 275°F (135°C) for 15 minutes. Set the timer and walk away. Ice bath afterward for 5 minutes and Voila! Eggtastic perfection! One trick I learned with trial and error, is the sooner you peel the eggs, the easier they will peel. Don’t let them sit for too long, waiting to be peeled.
Why I love making Eggs in the Air Fryer
- From the refrigerator straight to the air fryer. No need to wait for eggs to come to room temperature. However, cooking eggs at room temperature is absolutely ok.
- From your chicken straight to the air fryer. For those of you that have your own chickens.
- No preheating is required. Or preheating for a minute works great.
- Set it and forget it! I love this phrase from Ronco Showtime Rotisserie infomercial. Set the timer for 15 minutes and walk away.
- No egg limit. You can put as many as you want. 1 egg or 10. All cooked evenly and at the same time.
How to Make Eggs in the Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs. Can be one or six eggs, if desired.
Directions
- Set the air fryer to 275°F/135°C
- Add eggs to the air fryer basket (or tray)
- Cook on air fry (air crisp) mode
- Cook 15 minutes for hard-boiled texture
- Cook 10 minutes for soft-boiled texture
- Remove the eggs from the air fryer. (carefully! they are hot) and drop them in ice water (or very cold water)
- Peel 5 minutes later, or when cool enough to handle.
Watch Air fryer eggs on YouTube for a visual and see for yourself how easy it is to peel the eggs.
Cooking Tips
- Set the timing as per your desired doneness. Every air fryer varies in size and watts. Try different timings for cooking properly. If you are a newbie and haven’t tried the eggs in your air fryer, you should experiment with one egg first. The machine that I use is Cuisinart Air Fryer Oven.
- After the cooking time is complete, put the eggs into ice water. This will stop the cooking process immediately and also, easy to remove their shells.
- Some air fryers do not have a basket for cooking eggs, you can put the eggs directly to the basket (tray), or you can use the egg rack trivet.
- Through trial and error, once you have tried and tested the right timing and temperature for your air-fried eggs, then you can cook in bulk. You can cook up to 12 eggs at a time.
How long can cooked eggs stay fresh in the refrigerator?
Boiled eggs can stay fresh for one week after boiling/air frying. Whether you peel them or not.
Air Fryer Eggs Cooking Times
- For hard-boiled eggs, cook 14-16 minutes
- For medium-boiled, cook for 11-12 minutes
- For soft boiled, cook for 8-10 minutes

Notes
Why I love making air fryer eggs.
From the refrigerator straight to the air fryer.
No need to wait for eggs to come to room temp. But making air fryer eggs from room temperature is still ok. Because I just remembered, in the UK, they keep eggs at room temperature. Not in the refrigerator.
From your chicken straight to air fryer is also great.
No preheating is required.
Set it and forget it. Set the timer for 15 minutes and walk away.
No limit to the air fryer eggs. You can put as many as you want. 1 egg or 10 eggs. All cooked evenly and at the same time.

Did this in my air fryer and it worked great!! I tried both, hard boiled eggs and soft boiled.
This was horrible. The skins looked kind of scorched. I couldn’t get the shells off without taking a lot of the white with it. I won’t do it again. Maybe 15 mins is way too long.
love making air fryer eggs. Perfect every time. Yum.
Absolutely! Me too. I love that the peeling process is so easy. No more demolished eggs 🙂
Can you do the eggs in an air fryer oven?
I have the cuisinart air fryer oven also. How do you do them in that
My air fryer doesn’t go to 275. Either 280 or 270. I’m trying for the first time doing 280 but for 12 mins.
280 is perfect.
You can try 2 eggs. One take out at 12 minutes and the second take out at 15 min.
Then see the difference and your preference.

Thank you! 🙂
Air frying hard boiled eggs didn’t work for me, had to keep them at 275 for at least 30 minutes, and they didn’t peel easily and consistency was not the same. Not sure if I had to preheat the air fryer first, but am sticking to boiling eggs from now on..
