Notes
- Using an ice bath is an important part of this recipe. Make sure to use one to stop the cooking process.
- Always handle hot eggs with tongs. We're serious - they are HOT! You don't want to touch them directly.
- Don't crowd the air fryer basket. The eggs should have enough room between them to cook properly.
- Green yolks? Shorten the cook time. They're overcooked if they have a green ring and are too crumbly.
- Remember, all air fryer brands are different. You may need to experiment with the cook time to get the right temperature for you. We also do not preheat our air fryer - if your air fryer is hot when the eggs are added to the basket, you will need to lower the cooking time by a couple of minutes.
