Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 3-5 minutes
Servings: 1 egg per person
Intensity: Easy
Ingredients:
- 1 egg per person
- Cooking spray (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- If desired, lightly spray a small ramekin or oven-safe dish with cooking spray. This helps prevent sticking, but isn’t necessary if your air fryer basket is well-coated.
- Crack an egg into the ramekin or directly into the air fryer basket.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the ramekin or basket in the air fryer and cook for 3-5 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk. For a sunny-side up egg with a runny yolk, cook for 3 minutes. For a more firm yolk, cook for 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the ramekin or basket from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Tips:
- You can add a pat of butter or drizzle of olive oil to the ramekin before adding the egg for extra flavor.
- If you’re cooking multiple eggs, don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Experiment with different toppings, such as cheese, herbs, or hot sauce.
