Ingredients
- 5 Fresh Eggs
- 1 Tbsp Coarse Salt
- A little Vinegar (for sanitizing)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’re going to make delicious baked eggs right at home using an air fryer! These eggs have a wonderfully chewy texture on the outside and a moist, savory inside, reminiscent of ‘maekbanseok’ (stone-baked) eggs. They’re perfect as a healthy snack for kids or a satisfying late-night treat.
Step 2
Before baking, it’s crucial to bring the eggs to room temperature. This prevents them from cracking during the cooking process due to rapid temperature changes. Place the eggs on the counter for at least 20 minutes to allow them to warm up. Once at room temperature, gently wash the exterior of the eggs under running water. For extra sanitation, you can soak them briefly in a light vinegar solution for about 5 minutes. This step ensures your eggs are clean and safe to enjoy.
Step 3
Prepare your air fryer basket by lining it with parchment paper. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of coarse salt evenly over the parchment paper. The coarse salt helps absorb moisture from the eggs and imparts a subtle smoky flavor. Carefully place the washed and sanitized eggs on top of the salt. Now, place the basket in the air fryer and set the temperature to 130°C (266°F) for 20 minutes. After the first 20 minutes, gently flip the eggs and cook them for another 20 minutes at the same temperature (130°C/266°F). Baking at a lower temperature for a longer duration is key to achieving that perfect, non-cracked, moist interior.
Step 4
Once the cooking time is complete, your delicious smoked baked eggs are ready! You can enjoy them warm right away, or let them cool for a chewier texture. They pair wonderfully with a pinch of salt or a dash of soy sauce. Enjoy this simple, healthy, and incredibly tasty homemade snack!
