Air Fryer Jammy Eggs


Servings: 4

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Cook Time: 8-9 minutes

Total Time: 12 minutes



Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs

  • Ice water (for cooling)



Instructions:


  1. Preheat the Air Fryer:

    • Preheat your air fryer to 270°F (130°C). This usually takes about 3 minutes.


  2. Air Fry the Eggs:

    • Place the eggs directly in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are spaced out evenly.

    • Cook for 8-9 minutes for that perfect jammy consistency—where the egg whites are fully set but the yolk remains soft and creamy.


  3. Cool the Eggs:

    • Once the cooking time is up, transfer the eggs immediately into a bowl of ice water. Let them sit for about 5 minutes. This stops the cooking process and makes the eggs easier to peel.


  4. Peel and Serve:

    • Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and roll to crack the shell. Peel carefully, especially around the softer yolk.

    • Slice the eggs in half and enjoy immediately, or add them to your favorite dish.

Pro Tips:


  • Timing is Key: Depending on your air fryer model, you might need to adjust the time slightly. If you prefer a slightly runnier yolk, aim for 8 minutes; if you like it a bit firmer, go for 9 minutes.


  • Easy Peeling: Letting the eggs sit in an ice bath for a few minutes makes them easier to peel. For extra easy peeling, crack the eggs and place them back in the ice water for a minute before peeling.


  • Egg Size Matters: Larger eggs may need a little extra time, while smaller eggs might be done a bit sooner. Use similar-sized eggs for consistent results.


  • Storage: These jammy eggs are perfect for meal prep. Store them unpeeled in the fridge for up to 4 days for an easy addition to salads, toasts, or grain bowls.



Serving Suggestions:


  • On Toast: Top buttered toast with a sliced jammy egg and a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes for a simple but delicious breakfast.


  • Ramen Topping: These jammy eggs make the perfect addition to a bowl of ramen. Slice in half and add just before serving.


  • Salad Boost: Add sliced jammy eggs to a fresh green salad or a warm grain bowl for extra protein and creaminess.


These Air Fryer Jammy Eggs are quick, easy, and a great way to elevate any meal. Their perfectly set whites and creamy yolks are sure to be a hit!
