2. AIR FRYER SOFT BOILED EGGS
Soft boiled eggs (jammy eggs) made in an air fryer are my go-to. Air fryer temperature settings vary according to brand and model. The size of the eggs affects the cooking time as well. Plan to experiment with your cook time and temperature a bit with 1 to 2 eggs first.you can see my recipe AIR FRYER SOFT BOILED EGGS
- Quantity: 4 large eggs
- Preheat air fryer: yes.
- Temperature: 280°F/ 138°C
- Cook time: 9 to 10 minutes for soft egg yolk center | 10-11 minutes for medium egg yolk.

- Tips: need to soak in cold water (an ice bath) before peeling. Tap and peel carefully as the eggs will be quite soft. Test your air fryer temperature with 1-2 eggs first.
- How to store: According to BHG, because soft boiled eggs have creamier yolks and more liquid, they have a shorter shelf life. These eggs will last up to two days in the fridge before they expire. Make sure eggs are refrigerated 2 hours after cooking and don’t cut them open until you are ready to eat.
