Scrambled eggs in the air fryer
Soft, creamy scrambled eggs whisked with butter and made completely without a pan — the air fryer gives you perfectly loose eggs in under fifteen minutes, ready for a cosy breakfast.
Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
- 1 Ovnfast form (airfryer-sikker)
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Whisk
- 1 Dough scraper
Ingredients
- 8 pcs eggs
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 dl whole milk
0.5 tsp salt- 1 pinch black pepper Freshly ground
- 1 tbsp chives Finely chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 160 °C on convection.
- Crack 8 pcs eggs into a mixing bowl. Add 1 dl whole milk, 0.5 tsp salt and 1 pinch black pepper, and whisk it together well with a whisk until the mixture is smooth and lightly frothy.
Cooking in the air fryer
- Melt half of the 2 tbsp butter and brush or spread it around the oven-safe dish so the eggs don't stick. Pour the egg mixture into the dish.
- Place the dish in the air fryer and cook at 160 °C for 4 minutes.
- Pull the dish out and stir thoroughly with a spatula so the set outer parts blend into the soft middle. Dot the rest of the butter in small knobs over the eggs — that gives the creamy texture.
- Continue cooking at 160 °C for 2-4 minutes, stirring the eggs once halfway through. The scrambled eggs are done when they are softly set but still glossy and creamy. Be careful not to overcook them — they keep setting from the heat.
Plating
- Take the dish out and stir the scrambled eggs one last time. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp chives and serve right away, while they're warm and soft.
Notes
Tips for the perfect result:
The secret behind soft, creamy scrambled eggs is low heat and frequent stirring. Take them out a minute too early rather than too late — they keep setting from the residual heat, and overcooked eggs turn dry and grainy. Variation:
Swap the whole milk for a splash of heavy cream for even richer and more luxurious eggs, or stir in grated cheese, cured ham or fresh herbs in the last few minutes. Serving:
Serve the scrambled eggs on toast or with crispy bacon, fresh tomatoes and a slice of good rye bread for a filling breakfast or brunch. Portion size:
If your air fryer is smaller, you can split the egg mixture into two smaller dishes and make the scrambled eggs in two batches.
