Yes, you can cook eggs in the air fryer, and for hard boiled it might be the easiest method ever. The hot air cooks the eggs evenly through the shell. Use this chart for hard, soft, baked, and egg bite versions.
| Cut | Size | Temp | Total Time | Flip | Internal Temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hard boiled (in shell) | large eggs | 270 F | 15 to 17 min | no flip | fully set yolk F |
| Soft boiled (in shell) | large eggs | 270 F | 10 to 12 min | no flip | runny yolk F |
| Medium boiled (in shell) | large eggs | 270 F | 12 to 14 min | no flip | jammy yolk F |
| Baked eggs (in ramekin) | large eggs | 350 F | 6 to 8 min | no flip | set whites, soft yolk F |
| Egg bites (silicone mold) | in cups | 300 F | 10 to 12 min | no flip | fully set F |
Place eggs in a single layer (no water needed) and cook at 270 F for 15 to 17 minutes. Transfer immediately to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel.
Yes, but use a small oven-safe dish. Whisk eggs with a splash of cream, pour into a buttered ramekin, and cook at 300 F for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring once at the halfway point.
Not at the recommended temperatures. Cooking eggs above 300 F in the shell can cause cracks, but at 270 F the cooking is gentle and the shells stay intact.
Yes. Eggs are zero carb and an ideal keto protein. Pair with bacon and avocado for a complete keto breakfast.
