1/8 teaspoon black pepper, optional for serving
Instructions

2. Place the eggs in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
3. Cook for 15 to 17 minutes, depending on your air fryer and desired yolk firmness.
4. While the eggs cook, fill a bowl with ice and cold water.

Notes
Air fryer models vary, so test one batch first and adjust the cook time by 1 to 2 minutes if needed.
An ice bath is important because it stops the cooking and helps the shells peel more easily.
Store unpeeled eggs in the fridge for up to 1 week for the best texture and freshness.
