Air Fryer Egg Salad

5 from 3 votes

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

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)

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.
Serve the egg salad on top of your favorite bread, crackers, or lettuce leaves, or use it to make a sandwich. Enjoy!
