I don’t think I’ll ever boil eggs on the stove! If you own an air fryer, this is so so easy!

Instructions
- 1Place as many eggs as you would like to prepare into your air fryer.
- 2Cook the eggs at 270°F for 12-15 minutes. If you select 12 minutes your centers will be on the softer side, if you do longer they will continue to be a harder yolk in the middle.
- 3Place the cooked eggs in an ice bath. Once cooled, take the shell off and eat however you like. Pictured is a cooked egg with everything bagel seasoning on top.

Quick Tips
- 1
Use older eggs
Eggs a week or two past purchase peel far easier than fresh ones. Buy a carton and let it sit 7 days before boiling.
- 2
Shock in ice water
Move cooked eggs straight into a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes. It stops the cooking and loosens the shell from the white.
- 3
Peel under running water
Crack the wide end first, then peel under a thin stream of cool water to float the shell bits away.
- 4
Store them in the shell
Unpeeled hard boiled eggs keep in the fridge up to a week; peeled ones dry out and should be eaten within 2 days.
