To prepare soft-boiled eggs in an air fryer, you can follow these steps:
- Preheat your air fryer: Set the temperature to 250°F (120°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes.
- Prepare the eggs: Take the desired number of eggs and gently place them in the air fryer basket or tray. Make sure not to overcrowd the eggs to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the eggs: Insert the basket or tray into the air fryer and cook the eggs at 250°F (120°C) for about 12 minutes. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on the size of the eggs and the specific model of your air fryer. For slightly runny yolks, you can reduce the cooking time by a minute or two.
- Cool and peel: Once the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness, carefully remove them from the air fryer using oven mitts or tongs. Immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool and stop the cooking process. Let the eggs sit in the ice water for about 5 minutes.
- Peel and serve: Gently tap the cooled eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel them under cool running water. You can serve the soft-boiled eggs as they are or add salt, pepper, or other seasonings according to your preference.
Remember, the cooking time may vary depending on your specific air fryer model and the size of the eggs. It’s a good idea to experiment a bit to find the perfect cooking time that results in the desired softness for your eggs.
