How do you make hard boiled eggs in the air fryer?
First – let’s start with the hard boiled eggs. How do you make them in the air fryer? Well I have to say – this is the EASIEST way you’ll find (full post on how to make air fryer boiled eggs). You don’t even need water! You literally just set six eggs in the air fryer and air fry at 250 for 17 minutes. I’ll also say – these PEELED easier than any other way I’ve tried!!! That’s a win for me!
I wanted the yolks cooked through since I would be using it for the filling but would probably do a little less time if I was using them for regular hard boiled eggs to eat on their own.

I’m so lost. What the egg mixture that’s the middle bowl?
FoodHussy says
2 beaten eggs mixed with hot sauce – you go from Hooters wing breading – to the egg mixture – to the panko. Let me know if you have more questions.
Jennē says
Can I make these a day ahead or will the air fried egg white parts get soggy in the fridge?
FoodHussy says
you could hard boil the eggs ahead of time but i would do the fried egg white part the day off
Denise McKie says
Can you do 2 layers with the fry pot and the middle disk?
FoodHussy says
i’m not familiar with the fry pot – but if the middle disk provides a rack where you could stack – yes – as long as there re holes for air flow that should be fine.
Joan says
How many eggs does this make?
FoodHussy says
12 halves – 6 eggs
Mindy says
I can’t wait to try these. I do the 5-5-5 method for boiled eggs in the ninja foodi. 5 mins pressure cook, 5 mins cooldown, 5-minute soak in ice water. Perfect every time.
Lori says
Hiya, I made these per directions. I used the 4C breadcrumbs, which were way to big and literally just made a mess and didn’t stay on. Can you recommend a “fine” breadcrumb? I’ve looked and don’t see any defined as “fine”.
FoodHussy says
you might just take the panko and put it in blender and pulse a bit. I really like the texture of panko vs regular breadcrumbs on these eggs.
