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 make hard boil eggs in the air fryer – you don’t even have to add water!
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives or scallions, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- fresh black pepper, to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon sweet paprika, for garnish
Directions
- 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.
- Serve the egg salad on top of your favorite bread, crackers, or lettuce leaves, or use it to make a sandwich. Enjoy!
