Air Fryer Scrambled Eggs
Description
Soft, creamy scrambled eggs in the air fryer at 300°F, with a stir every 2 minutes so they never turn rubbery.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk, or half-and-half. optional
- 1 tablespoon butter, unsalted
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Put the butter in a 6-inch oven-safe pan, set it in the air fryer basket, and preheat at 300°F (150°C) for 1 minute until melted.
- Whisk the eggs, milk, salt and pepper for about 20 seconds, until smooth.
- Swirl the butter to coat the pan, pour in the eggs, and cook at 300°F for 2 minutes.
- Push the set edges toward the center with a spatula. Cook 2 more minutes.
- Stir again to break up set patches. Cook 1 to 2 minutes, until just set but still glossy.
- Remove right away; the hot pan finishes them. Serve immediately.
Equipment
- 6-inch round cake pan (or skip it if your air fryer has a glass basket)
- Silicone spatula
Notes
- 2 eggs: 4–5 minutes in a 4-inch ramekin. 6 eggs: 7–8 minutes. 8 eggs: 9–10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes.
- Add cheese, cooked meat or sautéed vegetables after the first stir.
- If your air fryer runs hot, use 280°F (140°C) and add 1 minute.
