• Don’t cook too many eggs at one time. If you want to cook more than 4 eggs at a time, you may need to increase the overall cook time to allow them all to cook thoroughly.
• Don’t overfill the air fryer basket.  Cook in a single layer so the hot air circulates and the eggs cook evenly. 
• Air Fryers temperatures can vary based on the make and model, so it cooking time may take some adjusting to get the timing just right. I recommend starting off with less time and then adding more time if needed to get to your preferred level of doneness.
