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:
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 270°F (130°C). This usually takes about 3 minutes.
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.
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.
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!
