Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Large eggs
- Cooking OIl Spray
- Salt & Pepper To taste
Instructions
- Spray the inside of each small cake or pie pan with non-stick cooking spray, then place them inside the air fryer.
- Preheat Your Air Fryer for three minutes at 370°F (187°C). If you don’t have a preheat mode on your air fryer, simply run it for 3 minutes with empty dishes inside. This ensures that your eggs will be cooked evenly throughout the cooking process.
- Once the air fryer and ramekins are preheated, gently crack the egg into each dish.
- Cook The Eggs. Cook on air fry mode at 370°F (187°C) for 3-5 minutes until golden brown on top and cooked through in the center. Start with 3 minutes, then peak at your egg.
- Free the Egg! When finished cooking, remove the ramekins from your air fryer basket using kitchen tongs or oven mitts and place them on the heatproof board.Gently separate the eggs out of the ramekins, using a small rubber spatula or spoon. If the eggs are stuck, run a butter knife around the edge of the ramekins. Lift the egg from the ramekin using a large spoon.
- Serve & Enjoy! Once the eggs are loose, transfer them to your dish or to a prepared toast. Season with salt and pepper to your liking and serve immediately while still hot! Enjoy your delicious twist on classic fried eggs!

Tips for Getting the Perfect Fried Egg in an Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 370 °F (187 °C) for 3 minutes and don’t forget to place the egg dishes inside. Once you crack the eggs into hot ramekins, the eggs will start cooking immediately.
- Cook your eggs on air fry mode (air crisp setting).
- Spray the ramekins with oil spray or grease with a little oil by running your finger (or food brush) along the sides of the ramekin.
- Try one egg at first. Set the timer and check on your egg after 3 minutes. If it’s not done to your liking, cook in 1-minute intervals and keep checking.
- Remove the egg from the dish asap and transfer it to a prepared toast or to a plate. Or else the egg may continue cooking while it is still sitting inside the hot dish.
