Easy Jammy Soft Boiled Eggs in Air Fryer
Have you ever tried an air fried egg?! Soft Boiled Eggs in Air Fryer are one of my favorite easy breakfasts for the weekend or weekday! The air fryer egg has firm whites and a jammy yolk for the best part of your morning.
Air fryers offer a convenient method for preparing soft-boiled eggs, resulting in delightfully runny, jammy eggs and firm egg whites.
I prefer this method vs stove top, oven baked, or instant pot eggs because it is the simplest and quickest method to making the perfect egg.
So if you want a quick breakfast, lunch, or snack weekly meal prep, cooking eggs never felt easier. Below, I will guide you through my easy method and your new favortie wat to make the perfect soft-boiled eggs in the air fryer.
Why You Will Love Making Air Fryer Soft Boiled Eggs
Quick: I use the air fryer as a quicker approach to cooking when compared to traditional stovetop methods. I appreciate the extra free time in the morning to sip and enjoy my coffee!
Consistent: Air Fryers provide consistency when cooking. I like to cook my eggs for 12 minutes for my preferred level of doneness. I like that super jammy consistency. However, like your eggs, a bit more firm, cook them a bit longer. You will have consistent results every time.
Easy: Why are these easy air fryer eggs? The cleanup is super easy. When air frying, you use removable baskets or trays, and they don’t require much cleanup.
Protein Punch: Eggs are an excellent source of protein containing all 9 essential amino acids. They are a good source of vitamins A, B2, B12, D, and E. They contain iron, phosphorous, and selenium. And Eggs are a cost-effective source of nutrition!
Preheat your air fryer to 250°F. This lower temperature helps to achieve a softer texture in the eggs.
Prepare the Eggs:
Gently place the eggs in the air fryer basket. You can cook as many eggs as your air fryer can accommodate in a single layer.
Air Fry:
Cook at 250°F for 12-15 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. Keep in mind that air fryers can vary, so you may need to adjust the time accordingly. For a soft-boiled egg with a runny yolk, 12 minutes is probably sufficient.
Cool the Eggs:
Once the eggs are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer using tongs or a spoon.
Place the eggs in a big bowl with lots of water and ice cubes also caled an ice bath for eggs!
Peel the Eggs:
I have found that the easiest way to peel the eggs is to gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel away the shell. I like to use an egg cracker to help with this. Then use the ice water bath to make the peeling process easier. Just submerge the egg in the cold water when peeling. You can even discard the shell right there in the water. Then toss it in your compost!
Season and Serve:
Season the soft-boiled eggs with salt and pepper or your favorite seasonings.
Serve them as they are on busy mornings or serve them the following ways!
with toast for dippy eggs
along side some air fryer hash browns
sliced over some avocado toast with lots of fresh herbs and a sprinkling of everything bagel seasoning
a topping for your favorite bowl of ramen
served over top your favorite cobb salad recipe
Soft-cooked eggs from the air fryer are versatile and can be incorporated into a variety of recipes! If serving the eggs in the shell in a holder, just crack the top of the shell and remove the top. To eat the egg use a small spoon or an egg spoon to scoop inside the shell. This is my personal favorite way to enjoy these spft cooked eggs.
FAQ (Ask a Dietitian!)
Can you use an air fryer to make medium and hard-cooked eggs?
Yes! For medium cooked eggs cook at 250°F for 15-18 min. For hard-cooked eggs, the same temperature but for 20-25 minutes.
How long to air fry eggs at 300°F?
The higher temperature means the eggs will cook faster. You can cook them for 8-12 minutes. You might need to test this a couple of times to see what temperature works best for your air fryer.

This Black Bean and Mango Salad is one of many bean salads I love to make! They are perfect for an easy weekday meal andmeal prepping, and I also like to make them for events!
This Black Bean and Mango Salad can be made at any time of year incorporating whatever is seasonally available.
Are you curious to learn more about how to make this salad more “seasonal”? Then keep on reading! Under the Ingredients section, I discuss ways to bump up this salad with some seasonal produce.
Why You Will Love This Recipe
This recipe is quick, easy to throw together, nutritious, and delicious!
Quick and Easy: This is a quick and easy recipe to throw together if you don’t have a lot of time. I love to whip up this colorful salad recipe as an easy salad or dip for game nights. I serve this dip with tortilla chips, like my favorite Juanita chips.
Nutritious and delicious: This delicious salad is also healthy! It is a great source of plant-based protein. Bean salads are one of my go-to meal-prepping summer salads when produce is abundant thanks to those sunny days. Plus, I always have a couple of cans of beans on hand for easy weekday meals for healthy eating.
You can make this a more substantial main dish by adding rice or quinoa. I like to turn this into a black bean quinoa salad.
The Ingredients
Black Beans: I love using black beans. In this Black Bean and Mango Salad, the dark-colored bean beautifully contrasts with the other ingredients.
I also love the taste and mouthfeel of the black beans in this dish. Black beans are a smaller legume, thus making them fit nicely on a chip or a small spoon!
Fresh Mango: Nothing tastes quite like a juicy mango. The mango in this dish adds a sweet yet slightly tart element that brings this salad together as a masterpiece in the mouth.
This salad would taste magnificent with frozen mango chunks or one of my favorite fruits ofsummer, fresh peaches!
Shallot: In this recipe, I enjoy a milder onion in this recipe so minced onion works well. If you don’t have shallots on hand consider leeks or scallions.
Want a stronger oniony flavor profile? Then try yellow, white, or red onions. Onions are a fall/spring crop, but you can get these year-round because they are stored so well.
Fresh Jalapeño Peppers: You’ll find me making bean salads all summer long because I love peppers.
Jalapenos are one of my favorite vegetables. At any given moment you will always find at least 1 plant in my garden. They bring the heat but not too much.
Add more or fewer jalapenos to this recipe or omit them entirely if you can’t take the heat.
Seasonal add-ins:You can make this recipe or add your favorite fresh produce like red bell peppers, tomatoes, corn, red onion, fresh cilantro, and fresh lime juice.
You can also use whatever beans you have on hand such as black beans, kidney beans, or white beans.
The Dressing Ingredients
Rice Wine Vinegar: Rice Wine Vinegar is an ingredient I like to always have on hand. I love how clean and slightly sweet this vinegar tastes.
Some substitutions include champagne, white wine vinegar, distilled vinegar, or even apple cider vinegar.
Olive oil: Olive oil is another staple in my pantry. I like to keep a few varieties of olive oil lying around.
I prefer a bolder olive oil for this Black Bean and Mango Salad Recipe. A bold olive oil means more flavor in the dressing.
Don’t have olive oil? Avocado oil also tastes lovely, especially if you decide to add avocados as an “add-on” ingredient!
Seasonings: For this salad, I kept it simple with dried oregano, kosher salt, and freshly cracked pepper. However, as always, season to your liking.
Do you have an herb garden? Use whatever herbs you have growing! Some herbs that would taste lovely include dried or fresh basil, fresh parsley, and even dried or fresh thyme.

The 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend adults following a 2,000kcal diet consume three servings (1.5 cups) of cooked beans, peas, and lentils per week. (1)
Today’s research shows, that beans, peas, and lentils are under consumed by most adults, which may contribute to inadequate intakes of nutrients and an unbalanced diet. (1)
Moreover, this Black Bean and Mango Salad recipe is a terrific way to incorporate more beans into the diet.
More About Beans
Beans are a versatile, sustainable, and nutrient-dense food. This is why beans are a staple food in my Flexitarian kitchen.
Now, I’ll review just a few ways beans are 1) versatile, 2) sustainable, and 3) nutrient-dense.
1) Versatile: Beans are versatile in cooking and recipes. Because beans are considered a vegetable and a protein, they pack a punch to any meal.
2) Sustainable: An article published last year in Nutrients showed an increase in bean, lentil, and pea consumption to two portions per week, which could modestly improve the sustainability of diets when replacing meat. (2)
3) Nutrient Dense: Black beans are rich in slowly digested carbohydrates, both soluble and insoluble fiber and are a high protein food. (3) They also have very little fat and zero sugar. In addition to all of that, they are high in many vitamins and minerals, especially Folate, Thiamin, and Iron. (3)

Oatmeal, arguably one of the most nutritious of the cereal grasses, has been a staple in continental breakfast bars for decades.
I enjoy oatmeal as an addition to my morning routine, serving both as a nutritious and balanced breakfast to kickstart my day. But, I also enjoy eating oatmeal as a yummy afternoon snack to keep me energized.
My personal favorite time to eat oatmeal is when I am camping and backpacking!
While camping, I prefer to keep things simple and easy. I love this hot oatmeal to go alongside my hot coffee. It’s a comforting breakfast with simple ingredients and is ready in less than 30 minutes (especially, if you use old-fashioned oats!)
Ingredients – Base Oatmeal Recipe
This Creamy Oatmeal recipe is so easy anyone can make it.
Steel-Cut Oats: I prefer to use steel-cut or Irish oats when making oatmeal. If you prefer to use any other type such as old-fashioned rolled oats, you can do so but the cooking time with change. I prefer McCann’s Steel Cut Oats for its chewy texture and delicious flavor.
Oatmilk: Homemade or store-bought oatmilk will do. This can be used as a non-dairy milk alternative. Alternatively, you can use other plant milk such as soy milkfor a little more protein.
Whole Milk: I like to use whole milk, but for even creamier oatmeal I’ll use heavy cream. To keep this recipe vegan, use coconut milk instead.
Butter: Finally, I love to add a bit of butter at the end of cooking. Add the butter to your big ol’ pot of oats or a bit in your bowl after serving. This adds to the creaminess.
Salt: I add a pinch of salt (kosher) to bring out the flavors and natural sweetness of the oats.
I have a whole list of oatmeal toppings below, but I love to add some healthy fats with some nut butter and more protein with added protein powder. I prefer to add Vital Proteins Collagen powder to my oatmeal because its taste and texture does not interfere with the flavors of the oatmeal and toppings.
Step-By-Step Instructions For Creamy Oatmeal
Add oats and oat milk to a medium pot and turn the stove to medium heat.
Cover the pot with its lid and let the oatmeal sit on low for 15 minutes. Consider a heat diffuser to keep the heat very, very low.
Mix in the butter and then let sit, off the heat, for 5 min.
Top oatmeal with your favorite toppings and dig in!

Today, I am unveiling a homemade marvel, an irresistible blueberry drop biscuit. These better-than-Bojangles blueberry biscuits are bursting with the natural sweetness of blueberries and buttery flakey love. Furthermore, they are so much better than a copycat recipe.
Why I Made This Recipe
There is a special place in my heart for biscuits. In fact, during my undergraduate years, I dedicated my experimental foods project to exploring dairy milk alternatives in drop biscuit recipes. You could say I’m a true “biscuit enthusiast.”
However, my reasons for creating this recipe go beyond my love for biscuits.
Blueberry Season: Blueberries are in season! What a great way to use up some of your latest summer blueberry hauls. However, when blueberries are not in season, I always have a bag of frozen blueberries in the freezer (it’s Jacob’s absolute favorite food). And, frozen blueberries work just as well in this recipe.
Easy: Perhaps it’s the countless times I made drop biscuits during that undergraduate experimental foods class, but making biscuits is a breeze. They are ready in under an hour with zero proofing time, chilling time, or any lengthy waiting time.
Even after devouring a multitude of biscuits that year, my love for them remains unwavering.
Comfort food Perfect for Sharing: Few things can rival the comfort of a warm biscuit slathered with butter.
Sure you could share a plate of box brownies, or break and bake cookie dough, but sharing a batch of made-from-scratch, freshly baked biscuits takes sharing to a whole new level of “caring”. Trust me, this recipe is a crowd-pleaser. I would know, I’ve shared these biscuits on numerous occasions.
