Craving a restaurant-quality soft boiled egg but dreading the stovetop hassle? Say hello to your new secret weapon: the air fryer! Forget timers and finicky water temperatures. Achieving that perfect, runny yolk and tender white is now unbelievably simple.
Here's the deal: preheat your air fryer to 270°F (132°C). Gently place your eggs in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, depending on your desired level of gooiness. For a super runny yolk, start with 8 minutes. Prefer it slightly firmer? Go for 10.
Once done, immediately plunge the eggs into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. This prevents overcooking and makes them easier to peel. Gently tap the egg all over to create cracks, then peel under cold running water.
Enjoy your perfectly soft boiled eggs on toast, in salads, or simply with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Air fryer soft boiled eggs are a game changer – easy, consistent, and delicious every time!
