How to Make Fried Egg in the Air Fryer:

- Crack an egg into each dish (one egg per dish).
- Place ramekins in the air fryer basket.
- Air fry the eggs for 5 minutes at 370°F.
- Make sure the egg white is firm and solid. *5 minutes should make a nice runny egg yolk. If you want a firm yolk, add 1-2 minutes to the cooking process until you get your preferred doneness.

I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.
FAQ's
What can I serve with this dish?
This is a dish that goes with lots of yummy foods. Bacon, sausage or breakfast ham will be savory and delicious. Egg toast with a cold glass of milk, avocado toast, a bowl of fresh fruit or hashbrowns will all complete this meal.
Can I store leftover eggs?
Allow eggs to cool completely prior to storing them. Place them in an airtight container in your refrigerator for 1-2 days. I would not recommend freezing the eggs because they will end up with a lot of frost on them and once, they are thawed out will become mushy and inedible.
Is there a certain type of egg I have to use?
No there isn't. There are different types of eggs that can be found in your local grocery store, local farmers market or vegetable stand. Duck eggs, goose eggs and turkey eggs are all types of eggs you can use to make this dish but cooking time will vary because they are all larger than a chicken egg.
What other ways can I make eggs?
Eggs can be made several different ways. Eggs can be scrambled, made into individual omelets or a skillet frittata to cut and share with the entire family. Eggs can also be hard boiled for quick snacks or made into creamy deviled eggs.

Excellent recipe

I wanted to ask if I can do 4 ramikens in my cosori at one time?
Absolutely! Just keep in mind sometimes if the basket is more full, you may need to add an additional minute or two to air frying time.

This looks like an easy recipe. I definitely plan to try it. What size ramekin did you use?
I believe these are 4" 🙂
Deonn Courtney
What kind of dish can be used in air fryer?
Hi Deonn. I use Corning Ware, Pyrex, Springform, cake pans, and silicone. Usually, if it's safe for a traditional oven, it should also be safe for the air fryer.
