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

6-AIR FRYER FRITTATA

This is probably one of my favorite breakfast meal prep dishes – frittata made in an air fryer! What goes into the frittata is totally up to you!

• Crack an egg in each pan (one per pan).
• Air fry eggs for 3-5 minutes at 375°F (190°C). If you have an air fryer oven, use the top rack position. Make sure the egg white is firm and solid. Five minutes got me a fried egg with a nice runny egg yolk. Air fry your eggs longer for firm yolks.

No, eggs shouldn’t explode in the air fryer if cooked properly. Since we’re making air fryer fried eggs, there’s no risk of exploding like there may be with hard boiled eggs.

How to make air fryer over easy eggs?

You can make your air fryer eggs over easy, over medium, or over hard! Simply air fry a fried egg as directed, carefully flip it with a spatula, and air fry a couple more minutes. Air fry longer for a solid yolk, or for less time to keep the yolk runny.

how long to cook fried eggs in the air fryer? What temperature to air fry fried eggs?

Water is not needed for these quick and easy hard-boiled eggs made in the air fryer! The eggs peel so readily, and the procedure is quick and simple.

This method for air-frying hard boiled eggs is highly recommended for those who consume eggs frequently. The process is entirely hands-off and doesn’t require waiting for the water to boil. To cook eggs to your preferred doneness, simply place them in the air fryer basket, set the timer, and watch them cook. The boiled eggs that are air-fried turn out to be nicely cooked and peel easily!

Ingredients:

4 eggs

Instructions:

• Preheat the air fryer to 250°F.
• Add the eggs to the fryer basket and cook according to your preference, between 13 minutes for soft-boiled eggs and 17 minutes for hard boiled eggs. Please note, time may vary between air fryers.
• Remove the eggs from the air fryer basket, and plunge them into an ice bath. Peel when cool enough to handle and enjoy!

TIPS FOR MAKING AIR FRYER HARD BOILED EGGS

1. Play around with the time for your ideal doneness. Since all air fryers makes and models vary in strength and watts, I recommend trying out the different times to find what’s perfect for you. And then you can keep using those settings. The air fryer I used is 1700 watts.
2. Use an ice water bath to stop the eggs from overcooking. While it’s not necessary to cool the eggs, I always run them under cold water or an ice bath (preferred) because it immediately shocks the eggs’ temperature, and stops them from cooking.
3. Use a grill rack or mesh rack if your air fryer doesn’t have a basket. That works perfectly fine to allow the air to circulate fast around the eggs even if you don’t have a basket.
4. Cook up to 12 eggs at once. Air fryer hard boiled eggs are great for meal prepping since the eggs last up to one week in the fridge. Once you’ve tested the perfect time in your air fryer, you can cook them in bulk.

Air Fryer Focaccia

The good news for all of us who adore air fryers is that you can make amazing, delectable focaccia bread in an air fryer. Yes, bread made in an air fryer has the potential to be so delicious that it will be difficult to believe it was not baked in an oven. I’m a big admirer of anything air-fried, so I had to try creating my artisanal oven-baked focaccia in my air fryer, and it turned out fantastically. You will love this focaccia bread made in an air fryer. It will also be a wonderful present for family members, neighbors, and friends. Give it a go! You’re going to adore it!

Ingredients:

Dough for focaccia

1. My preferred all-purpose flour for this recipe is King Arthur flour, 500 g.
2. 400 g of room temperature water
3. Three grams of instant yeast
4. Nine grams of sea salt

Additional Ingredients and Toppings

1. 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
2. Six tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, plus more if necessary;
3. two finely sliced or minced garlic cloves
4. 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
5. one cup of finely chopped herbs parsley, sage, dill, and basil

Guidelines

• Water, flour, yeast, and salt should all be added to a big basin. Make sure the ingredients do not come into contact with one another before mixing. By hand, combine the dough by squeezing it between your fingers until a cohesive, sticky mass forms. Place a plastic wrap over the bowl and allow it to rest for 20 minutes.
• Stretch and fold for twenty minutes, then for twenty more minutes, and then for twenty more minutes. Once the dough has been shaped into a ball, coat it with two tablespoons olive oil. For an additional twenty minutes, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rest.
• Scoop out three equal portions of dough and place them onto three 7.5″ x 5″ foil pans that have been oiled with two teaspoons of butter (See Notes). Each dough piece should be stretched to completely fill the pan’s bottom. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours or overnight after covering with plastic wrap.
• Two hours before baking, take the dough out of the refrigerator and cover it to allow it to prove at room temperature.
• Drizzle a generous amount of olive oil over the dough. Make deep indentations all over the dough’s surface using your fingertips. After distributing the toppings, pour a little olive oil over everything.
• Bake for about 12 minutes at the highest temperature, which is typically 400F. Since each air fryer bakes bread differently, start checking early. Your bread might be done sooner, or the baking time might need to be extended by a few minutes. You don’t have to preheat your air fryer.
• The focaccia should be carefully moved to a large cutting board, sliced, and served hot. It tastes best at this point. Have fun!

NOTES 

• This recipe’s pan size (7.,5″ x 5″) is meant for my air fryer, which has an inside measurement of 10″ by 10″. You might need to use different sized pans and split the dough into multiple portions, like 2, 4, etc., depending on the size of your air fryer.
