Pro Tips and Timesaver Shortcuts

  • If not using the hard boiled eggs immediately, do not peel them until ready to use.
  • Be sure to leave space between the eggs in the air fryer and do not crowd them so they cook evenly.
  • Cooking time may vary according to you air fryer model.
  • If you get a green ring around your egg, it just means that they were cooked a little too long.
  • I used a 6-quart air fryer. If you have a smaller one, just use as many eggs as you can that will fit in one layer. Do not change the temperature or time.

Variations, Notes, and Substitutions

  • You can adjust the cooking time for softer eggs: For a soft boiled egg, cook them 10 minutes. For medium-boiled eggs cook for 12 minutes.
  • Cooking times can vary with the size of the eggs. Extra large eggs may take a few extra seconds.
  • For a clean peel, tap the larger end of the egg on a hard surface, just enough to break the shell. Then peel away under running water.

Serving and Storage Suggestions

  • These are perfect for deviled eggs or eggs for a Cobb salad. 
  • Serve with avocado toast
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container. I like to use freezer-safe plastic bags and then I have a meal that is ready to go,

FAQ

Should I use older eggs or fresh eggs for hard boiled?

You want to be sure to use eggs that are within their expiration date, but since fresher eggs are harder they are to peel, I would use the older ones.

How long do hard boiled eggs last in the refrigerator?

About 5-7 eays.
