What you need
-
Eggs
-
Small oven-safe dish or ramekin (ceramic, glass, or silicone)
-
Hot water (just boiled)
-
Non-stick spray or a little oil
Method
-
Preheat air fryer to 180°C / 350°F for 3 minutes.
-
Lightly grease the ramekin.
-
Crack 1 egg into the ramekin.
-
Carefully pour in hot water until the egg is just covered.
-
Place the ramekin in the air fryer basket.
-
Cook 6–8 minutes, depending on how you like your yolk:
-
6 min → runny
-
7 min → jammy
-
8 min → fully set
-
-
Lift egg out with a slotted spoon and drain briefly.
Tips for best results
-
Use hot (not cold) water – it cooks more evenly.
-
If making more than one, use separate ramekins.
-
Silicone cups work great and are easier to clean.
-
Season after cooking (salt can make whites cloudy).
Serving ideas
-
On toast or sourdough
-
With smoked salmon
-
Over avocado or sautéed mushrooms
-
On top of air-fried hash browns
If you want, I can give you times for a Ninja, Tower, or dual-basket air fryer, or show how to do them without water 👍
