How to cook fried eggs in the air fryer

• Start by spraying your air fryer pan with cooking spray, or whatever pan you are using to cook your cake. It is also possible to drizzle a little cooking oil like olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, etc. Once it’s cooked, baste the bottom with butter.

• The egg/s will be less likely to stick to this surface.
• Alternatively, you could use a ramekin.
• You should crack the egg into the pan and place it there. Air fryer basket should be placed within the air fryer itself, and then the pan placed within the air fryer.

• Make sure the temperature is around 360 to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. You should then cook the mixture for 3 to 5 minutes. It’s usually good for me to get home by 3:45.
• Take a look at it after 3 minutes. You can see I am pointing at the yolk, which is not quite cooked around the edges. It only needs another 30 to 45 seconds of cooking. Nevertheless, it would still be okay to eat like this.
• It’s easiest for me to wait until the yolk starts to turn white.
• When the egg is done, you can use a spatula to get it out, if you used enough oil it should come out easily.

It is important to make sure the sides of the container are high enough to prevent spills. Prepare the foil by greasing it and adding the egg and cooking it. Foil should not cover the whole bottom of the air fryer, since it will restrict airflow.
