Air Fryer Eggs in a basket, also known as Eggs in a hole, is a super simple and easy way to make breakfast in the Air Fryer. No preheating needed with this delicious and easy Air Fryer breakfast recipe! 

You can make breakfast in just a few minutes with this simple recipe, also known as Egg in a hole, Breakfast in a hole, and Eggs in a basket.

Air Fryer-Eggs in a Basket

This breakfast recipe is truly a classic. While it may surface under a different name, it will always be known to us as Eggs in a basket.

If you're looking to feed a crowd, check out this yummy bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast casserole.

Just like the classic recipe from Cracker Barrel, this is one you can quickly and easily make at home. 

This inexpensive breakfast takes just a few minutes and is made with just a handful of ingredients.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer to 330 degrees. After preheating, place a piece of parchment paper in the Air Fryer basket, or spray with a non-stick cooking spray.

  2. Take a piece of bread and use a large cookie cutter to remove a hole from the center.

  3. Carefully crack the egg into the center of the hole.

  4. Close the Air Fryer basket and cook at 330 degrees for 5 minutes. Use a spatula and carefully flip the egg in a hole and cook for an additional 4 minutes.

  5. Carefully remove from the Air Fryer, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, and serve.

I love this easy recipe for eggs in a basket. It's a delicious and easy dish that's hands off and done in minutes.

      With the above instructions, does the yolk still stay a bit runny? I like it like that.

    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! 🙂
