    at what temperature should I air fry scrambled eggs

    Cook scrambled eggs using your air fryer at a low to medium heat. Depending on how set you like your eggs to be, use a cooking temperature of 300°F (about 150°C) for 10 minutes or 350°F (approximately 180°C) for 8 minutes.

    ingredients

    You will require the following ingredients. A printable recipe card with full measurements has been provided at the bottom of this page.

    An overhead shot of the ingredients needed to make scrambled eggs in the air fryer.
    • eggs - when it comes to the eggs, I prefer using the Gordon Ramsey method where you cook the eggs cold, straight from the fridge.
    • butter - helps give the eggs a buttery taste.
    • heavy cream - you can use milk, stock or creme fraiche in leue of heavy cream.
    • shredded cheddar cheese - while these scrambled eggs are made with cheddar, you can use your favorite cheese, such as mozarella.
    • salt and pepper to taste.

    how to make ninja foodi air fryer scrambled eggs

    Here is how to make scrambled eggs using the Ninja Foodi.

    A photo collage showing how to make air fryer scrambled eggs.
    • Coat a cake pan or an oven-safe bowl with butter. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese. Using your fingers, break the remaining butter into smaller pieces and stir them into the mixture.
    • Pour the egg mixture into the buttered pan and carefully place it in your air fryer basket or trivet.
    • Air fry at 350°F (approximately 180°C) for 8 minutes. Once the cooking time is over, use a spatula to carefully stir the eggs, so that the raw egg comes on top. Close the lid and air fry for a further two minutes, then remove and transfer to a plate, garnish as desired (optional) and serve.
    • If using other types of air fryers, i.e. other than the Ninja Foodi, repeat the process, that is, keep cooking and stirring at each two minute interval until the eggs are properly cooked and are no longer runny. Remove the basket, transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate, garnish as desired (optional), and serve.

    suggested toppings

    There are so many ways to transform your scrambled eggs!

    • top with crumbled feta or parmesan cheese for more of a savoury flavor.
    • use a variety of herbs such as dill, chopped chives, oregano or thyme to garnish.
    • add some sliced sausage or fried bacon to the beaten eggs, just before cooking.
    • you can also make it veggie-packed by adding sliced mushrooms, bell peppers or some spinach.

    storing leftover scrambled eggs

    Keep leftover scrambled eggs in the fridge or freezer as follows:

    • in the fridge - store the eggs in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
    • in the freezer - similarly, you can store frozen scrambled eggs in the freezer, in a suitable airtight container for up to one month.

    You can reheat cold scrambled eggs using your air fryer, on the stovetop, in the oven, or microwave as follows:-

    • Air fryer - preheat your air fryer at 350°F (about 180°C) for 5 minutes. Reheat the leftover eggs for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking.
    • Oven - similar with the air fryer, preheat the oven at 350°F (180°C) and warm the scrambled eggs for 5-10 minutes, or until properly warmed through.
    • On the stovetop - heat a cast iron skillet or pan under medium heat. Add 1-2 tablespoons of butter or olive oil, add the eggs and heat for 2 minutes, or until warmed through.
    • In the microwave - place the leftover scrambled eggs in a microwave-safe dish. Set the microwave at 600 watts and warm for one minute. Check if warm, otherwise increase the time for a further minute and warm (check at the 30 second point).

      My niece is in collage and does not have access to a stove. I brought her a ninja air fryer and she's been using it religiously. This weekend I tried the recipe with her and we were both so delighted at how easy it was to make and tasty too! Thanks for the great recipe!

      I make this almost every morning! I pop these in the air fryer and by the time I'm finished making the bacon, it's done! Perfect recipe, I would've never thought to make eggs in the air fryer but it's made my mornings so much easier. Thanks so much!
