Ingredients

▢ 6 large eggs

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 250°F (120°C).
Carefully place the eggs in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Cook the eggs in the air fryer for approximately 12-15 minutes for a soft-boiled consistency. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of doneness. You may need to experiment with the timing to achieve the perfect soft-boiled eggs, as different air fryer models may vary in cooking times.
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully remove them from the air fryer using tongs or a spoon.
Place the cooked eggs in a bowl of cold water or an ice bath for a few minutes to stop the cooking process and cool them down.
Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel the shell off.
Serve the soft-boiled eggs immediately, either on their own or as a topping for salads, toast, or other dishes.

Notes

Fresh eggs: Use fresh eggs for the best results. Fresh eggs are less likely to have shells that stick to the egg whites, making them easier to peel after cooking.
Cooking time: The cooking time provided in the recipe is a general guideline. However, different air fryer models may vary in temperature and cooking efficiency. It's a good idea to start with the suggested cooking time and adjust it based on your air fryer's performance and your desired level of doneness. If you prefer a slightly firmer or runnier yolk, you can experiment with shorter or longer cooking times accordingly.
Cooling and peeling: After cooking, it's important to cool the eggs quickly to stop the cooking process. Placing the cooked eggs in a bowl of cold water or an ice bath for a few minutes helps cool them down and makes them easier to handle. Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel the shell off carefully. Starting at the wider end of the egg can make peeling easier.
