Step 1: Prep the Pan

Begin by spraying your cake pan or whatever pan you are using that fits in your air fryer, with cooking spray. Or you can just pour a little cooking oil like olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, etc. And then baste it on the bottom.

This will help keep the egg/s from sticking.

Something like a ramekin will work too.

Step 2: Cook That Egg

Now crack the egg and place it into the pan. Place the pan in the air fryer basket and then into the air fryer itself.

Set the temp to around 360 to 375F. Then cook for 3 to 5 minutes. In mine 3:45 is usually good.

Check it at 3 minutes. If you notice I am pointing at the yolk, it is not quite done around the edges of the yolk. Just cook it for another 30 to 45 seconds. Although you could certainly still eat it like this.

I like to wait until there is a little bit of white creeping up the yolk.

The fried egg is done, now use a spatula to get the egg out, it should come right out if you used a bit of oil.
