Preheat your air fryer to 270 degrees for 2 minutes.*
Add the eggs to your air fryer basket in a single layer. i added 8 eggs.
Air fry for 15 minutes for hard boiled eggs with completely cooked yolks. Alternatively, you can cook for 9 minutes for very soft with slightly runny whites, 11 minutes for jammy eggs, or 13 minutes for just slightly undercooked yolks.
Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath (a bowl of water and ice) to halt cooking. Let them sit in the ice bath for 2 + minutes.
Peel and serve!

Air Fryer: If your air fryer doesn't go below 300 degrees, that’s ok! You will just need to subtract 1-2 minutes from the recommended cooking times. In order to use 270 on my air fryer I need to select "reheat" instead of "air fry". Check your instruction manual to see if your air fryer has any functions like this.
Ice Bath: Don’t skip the ice bath! This is important to prevent overcooking and to help them peel easily.
Leave Space: Make sure not to overcrowd your air fryer. You’ll need space between each egg to ensure proper cooking.
Cook Times: Keep in mind that the cook times will vary depending on how to like your eggs. For a very soft “boil”, with slightly runny whites: 9 minutes. For jammy eggs, 11 minutes. For just slightly undercooked yolks: 13 minutes. For hard “boiled”, 15 minutes. Feel free to play around with these times when you get comfortable and have a preference that isn’t listed here.

You can also slice and serve your air fryer eggs on top of a salad or eat them for a snack with salt and pepper. You really can’t go wrong!
To use fewer yolks in your recipes, simply slice the egg in half, discard the yolks, and use the whites.

Store your air fryer eggs in the refrigerator in an airtight container or ziptop bag for up to 7 days.
