If you’re looking for Air Fryer Eggs Recipes – I’ve got you covered! This post will share every way you can air fry eggs! Whether you want them scrambled, fried, wrapped in sausage or more – it’s in this post!
Do I need to preheat my air fryer?
Unless your machine requires you to preheat – I don’t find it necessary. Food cooks just fine without it! It may take 1 minute more – but it’s not worth the extra time to preheat.
Do eggs raise your cholesterol?
Eggs are an affordable and delicious protein but they are naturally high in cholesterol. But the cholesterol in eggs doesn’t raise your cholesterol levels.
This recipe was made using the Paula Deen Air Fryer.
1. Air Fryer Boiled Eggs
Whether you like your eggs soft-boiled, medium-boiled or hard-boiled – I have got you covered. After using your air fryer to boil eggs – you’ll never use water again!
Cook Times for Air Fryer Boiled Eggs
Full instructions for Boiling Eggs
- 11 minutes for soft boiled eggs (whites done, runny egg yolks)
- 13-14 minutes for medium boiled (whites done, yolk done but a little moist)
- 17 minutes for air fryer hard boiled eggs (whites done, yolk fully done)
For best results, transfer cooked eggs to an ice bath so they can cool off. The cold water should help them peel more easily as well.

Air Fryer Tools You Need
If you’re looking for things you need when you buy an air fryer – you don’t really need much. But here’s a few things I’ve found to be helpful!
- Pam Olive Oil Spray – You need a sprayer for olive oil. I tried more expensive ones and they clog and don’t really spray right. I bought this bottle at the grocery for like $3 and it works like a charm. And you can refill it with your own EVOO when it’s empty. Anytime you’re cooking something you want to BROWN, you’ll want to spritz it with olive oil.
- Mini Springform Pans – great for making cheesecake in the air fryer
- Parchment Paper Sheets – I like the ease of pulling out a sheet and I just fold it to the shape I need. These make sure nothing sticks. I only use it if I’ve got something I know will stick like this Air Fryer Chicken Fried Steak.
- Silicone Tongs – I use these on the daily! They’re just amazing and they’re non-stick so they don’t put dents in the food or mess it up.
- Breading Trays – I bread a lot of things with flour, egg, panko when I’m air frying – especially veggies – so these breading trays have been great! My fav are these Jalapeno Fries.
- Meat Thermometer – This is just a kitchen must-have but it’s great for the Air Fryer as well. Checking your meat with an instant-read thermometer ensures perfect meals every time. This one is under $15 and works like a charm!
So there you have it – all my favorite Air Fryer tools and *SIX* ways to make eggs in your air fryer!
