Can you cook eggs in an air fryer?

With air fryers becoming a staple in many kitchens, you may be wondering whether it’s possible to cook eggs in an air fryer. Well, the answer is yes, you can.

With convenient, speedy cooking times and the ability to create healthier dishes, there are many cooking opportunities to unlock when it comes to your air fryer. Whether you’re craving poached, scrambled, boiled, fried eggs or an omelette, we have some of the best techniques for cooking air fryer eggs.

Poached eggs

Perfecting poached eggs takes practice, and sometimes it still just doesn’t go right for the most seasoned of cooks. Although we do still recommend cooking poached eggs on the hob, you can achieve those running yolks with the help of your air fryer, some ramekins, olive oil and water. Read our air fryer poached eggs recipe for the full list of instructions.

Scrambled eggs

Like poached eggs, cooking scrambled eggs in a pan, over the hob is still the best way to achieve those light, fluffy results. However, it is still possible to serve up delicious, scrambled eggs from the air fryer. Simply add whisked eggs and milk into an ovenproof ramekin or dish, leave to air fry and “scramble” while they're still runny. We have an air fryer scrambled eggs recipe for more detailed instructions.

Boiled eggs

Cooking boiled eggs in the air fryer can be much quicker and more energy efficient than using the hob. Using an air fryer means you do not need to wait for the water to boil in a pan, which is much more convenient, and because the air fryer cooks on all sides, you get consistent results. If you’re curious, be sure to check out our air fryer boiled eggs recipe.

Fried eggs

Making fried eggs in the air fryer can be as easy as cooking them in a pan on a hob. You will need a non-stick pan or dish that’s also air fryer safe to prevent the eggs from sticking, as well as some silicone egg rings to keep the circular shape. Read our air fryer fried eggs recipe for step-by-step instructions.

Omelette

We love cooking an omelette in an air fryer because it’s quick and easy, producing fluffy and golden results every time. All you need is a heatproof, non-stick pan or dish that’s air fryer safe and in a round shape. You can even add fillings like grated cheese, feta, spinach or ham to the omelette while it’s cooking.
