Love it! Thank you
Yay! So glad you love it!! 🙂
With the above instructions, does the yolk still stay a bit runny? I like it like that.
Yes! They will still have some run to them 🙂
So good! Thanks for this easy and delicious breakfast recipe.
You are so welcome. I am glad you liked it!
Nice but the cooking temp u say 300. Is it Celsius or Fahrenheit.,????
Fahrenheit!
"No preheating needed with this delicious and easy Air Fryer breakfast recipe! "
1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 330 degrees
So which is it? Preheat or not!?
Here's the thing. Some air fryers like the Ninja 5 in 1 requires you to preheat. The Cosori air fryer we use doesn't require you to preheat. So basically, if your style of air fryer doesn't require a preheat, then you don't have to do it! However, if it does, you want to preheat the air fryer to the 330 degrees Fahrenheit temperature suggested. Hope that helps! 🙂
Here's a variation to the recipe.
Use two lightly buttered thin sliced breads. Make a hole on one and put a slice of cheese between them. Put the sandwich in the basket, dump the cracked egg into the hole. Poke the yoke, gently mix it with the egg white. Air Fry for 10 mins at 330°F; more time if less runny is preferred. No flipping required.
Result: An open Egg McMuffin
Advantage: No mess to clean, just a few crumbs to dispose from the lower basket.
