Why Cook Eggs in the Air Fryer?

Before we dive in, let’s talk about why the air fryer is so handy for cooking eggs:

Speed: Air fryers cook eggs quickly (usually under 15 minutes).
Hands-Off: You don’t have to stand over the stove. Just set the timer and let it work.
Texture: Air frying gives eggs a unique texture, with crisp edges on fried eggs or perfect firm whites in baked eggs.
Versatility: You can cook eggs in lots of ways — boiled, baked, or even make egg muffins.
Less Oil: Air frying uses little to no oil, so it’s a healthier alternative to frying in butter or oil.

Tips for Cooking Eggs in the Air Fryer

Use fresh eggs for the best results.
Don’t overcrowd the basket (leave space so air can circulate)

For baked or muffin-style recipes, silicone moulds work best.
Keep an eye on the eggs near the end of cooking to get your perfect level of yolk runniness.
