Disclaimer, please read before starting: Several factors can influence air frying cooking times (egg size, quantity of eggs, air fryer model). Use the stated timeframes as a reference, but do expect that you'll need to experiment a bit to find the ideal cook time for your perfect egg doneness. We use 12 large eggs and a 1500-watt air fryer when we make air fryer hard boiled eggs.
Preheat air fryer to 270° F. Prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl halfway with ice and adding enough water to the bowl until it is 3/4-full. Set aside.
Add eggs to the fryer basket and cook to your desired hardness: about 10 to 11 minutes for soft-boiled eggs, and up to 16 to 17 minutes for hard boiled eggs. I usually set the timer for 13 to 14 minutes, to get eggs that are mostly hard, with a touch of a golden jammy center. Again, time may vary with the different variables listed above.
Remove eggs from the air fryer basket and set them in the ice bath for 10 minutes. Peel when cool enough to handle. Enjoy!
Notes
How to store hard boiled eggs. Store unpeeled hard boiled eggs in any container. If they’ve been peeled, put them in a sealed container with a damp paper towel over the top. Peeled or not peeled, store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days, per the USDA.
How to store soft boiled eggs. Soft boiled eggs should be stored for just 2 days, in a sealed container. When making “very soft” soft boiled eggs, it’s best to make these “to order”, on the day you’ll be eating them – they’re wonderful warm!
