Tips and Tricks for Air Fryer Eggs 🧑🍳
To make sure your air fryer eggs turn out egg-cellent every time, here are a few tips and tricks:
- Use room temperature eggs: Cold eggs straight from the fridge can lead to uneven cooking. Let your eggs sit out for about 15 minutes before popping them into the air fryer.
- Experiment with timing: Every air fryer is a bit different, so you might need to adjust the timing slightly to get your eggs just the way you like them. Start with the suggested times and tweak as needed.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket: Give your eggs some space to ensure even cooking. If you’re making a large batch, cook them in batches for the best results.
- Cool them down quickly: For easy peeling, place your cooked eggs in an ice bath for a few minutes right after they come out of the air fryer. This helps the shells come off effortlessly.
Best Ingredients for Your Air Fryer Eggs 🌟
When it comes to making the best air fryer eggs, the quality of your ingredients matters. Here are a few of my favourite tips:
- Fresh, free-range eggs: They taste better and have more vibrant yolks.
- Add a pinch of salt: salt and eggs are a marriage made in heaven.
- Experiment with flavours: If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a bit of soy sauce to your eggs after they’re cooked for an extra flavour boost.
Serving and Pairing Suggestions 🍽️
Now that you’ve got your perfect air fryer eggs, it’s time to enjoy them! Here are a few serving and pairing ideas to get you started:
- Breakfast toast: Serve your eggs on a slice of wholegrain toast with a smear of avocado and a sprinkle of chilli flakes. Yum!

- Ramen: Use jammy eggs as a topping for homemade ramen – they add a delicious richness to the broth.
- Snack: Hard-boiled eggs make an excellent snack on their own or with a bit of salt and pepper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! 🥳 The air fryer is perfect for cooking multiple eggs at once. Just make sure not to overcrowd the basket, as the eggs need some space to ensure even cooking. If you’re making a large batch, you might want to cook them in batches for the best results. Remember, each air fryer is a bit different, so you might need to adjust the timing slightly when cooking multiple eggs.
Storing and reheating air fryer eggs is a breeze. After cooking, let the eggs cool down and then store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They should stay fresh for up to a week. To reheat, you can place the eggs back in the air fryer for a few minutes at 160°C, or simply pop them into the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Just be sure not to overheat them, as the yolk can become rubbery.
If your eggs cracked in the air fryer, it could be due to a few reasons:
- Temperature Shock: If the eggs are too cold when placed in the hot air fryer, the sudden change in temperature can cause them to crack. Let your eggs sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before cooking.
- Overcrowding: Make sure the eggs have enough space around them in the basket. Overcrowding can cause them to bump into each other and crack.
- Egg Quality: Sometimes, older eggs have weaker shells that are more prone to cracking. Try using fresh, free-range eggs for the best results.
If you follow these tips and tricks, you should be able to avoid cracked eggs and enjoy perfectly cooked air fryer eggs every time! 🥚✨
