Use either air fryer hard-boiled eggs or Instant Pot hard-boiled eggs. Stovetop instructions, place the eggs in a small or medium size saucepan ( depending on how many eggs you are using), filled with cold water. Over medium heat, bring the water to a boil. Remove the pot from the heat and cover with a lid and let sit for 11 minutes. Then drain the eggs and place them in a medium bowl with ice and cold water to stop cooking. Then, peel and use in the recipe.
