Description
The air fryer is not a way you would think to make egg salad, but that’s how I do it! It’s so easy to hard boil eggs in the air fryer – you don’t even have to add water, so cleanup is a breeze.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
8large eggs
4tablespoonsmayonnaise
1tablespoonfinely chopped chives or scallions, plus more for garnish
1/4teaspoonkosher salt
fresh black pepper, to taste
1/8teaspoonsweet paprika, for garnish
Instructions
- Place the eggs in the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 250°F.
- Cook for 15 to 16 minutes, depending on your air fryer until the eggs are hard-boiled (time may vary depending on the make and model of your air fryer), play around with 1 egg to see how your air fryer cooks before making a whole batch.
- Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and run under cold water.
Peel the eggs and chop them into small pieces.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.
- Add the chopped eggs, chives to the bowl with the mayonnaise mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
Top with paprika and chives, for garnish.
