Soft Boiled Eggs in the Air Fryer
You can use the air fryer to cook one egg or as many as you need. This is a super healthy recipe for cooking eggs perfectly. Ideally, you would have a metal egg holder for the air fryer basket. This prevents the eggs from moving around in the air fryer during cooking time. However, if you don’t have one– don’t worry! You can still cook delicious soft boiled eggs in the air fryer.
We like to batch prep a whole bunch on the weekend and eat them throughout the week. Eggs are an excellent source of protein for a hearty breakfast or filling snack. My kids can just grab one and go. I love to slice mine up and serve over potato salad, toast, or even a spring greens salad.
