How to hard boil eggs in an air fryer
At first sight, hard-boiling of eggs seems to be an easy process. And indeed, it is not complex at all. However there are yet certain ways that have not been fully tried out in the kitchen, even by professional chefs.
Many of us normally deal with a lack of time in the morning to prepare nutritious and well-balanced breakfast, which is supposed to move our day in the right direction. How does it sound to have the main ingredient of your morning meal (eggs) ready in a few minutes in an air fryer? Hana’s recipes got you covered! See how simple it all is:
- Prepare as many fresh eggs as you like for a great start to the new day.
- Preheat the air fryer to approximately 130°C / 270°F. This will later ensure that eggs will come out cooked evenly and consistently.
- Put the eggs inside of the preheated air fryer. Make sure they are in a single layer, so that they will not be touching each other. It would be unfortunate to see some eggs get cracked or completely damaged.
- Cook the eggs at the same temperature of 130°C / 270°F for 15 minutes.
- Once the time is up, remove the eggs from the air fryer carefully and ideally use heat-resistant gloves. Place hard-boiled eggs in a bowl filled with ice or cold water. This process will later guarantee simpler peeling of the eggs.
- After cooling the eggs down, peel them under cool running water. Start at the wider end. Again, it will make the process of peeling much easier and faster as well.
Well done! Now enjoy your nutritious, easily prepared breakfast with a slice of fresh bread, ham and a decent amount of vegetables!
