Yes, the air fryer is a great way to make cooked eggs! And it doesn’t stop at fried eggs either. This is an easy method to make eggs a whole variety of different ways. You can make air fryer hard-boiled eggs too, which is much easier and quicker than waiting for water to boil.
I recommend using some kind of mini cake pans (4″ is the size I used) to hold your eggs while they air fry. If you have a larger air fryer, you could even use something like a cupcake tin to make 6 air fried eggs at the same time. Large eggs may need an extra minute or two of cook time.
When it comes to cooking time, it can vary depending on the size and strength of your air fryer. You may also need to adjust the cooking time depending on whether you like runny yolks or more solid ones.
