What ingredients do you need to make Air Fryer Eggs?
- Whole eggs
- Aluminum foil, ramekins, or silicone molds
- Olive oil spray or grapeseed oil spray
Step-by-Step Recipe Instructions for Air-Fried Eggs:
Follow the simple steps below to make perfect air fried eggs. A printable recipe card is included in the recipe block.
- Create a small foil pouch that fits your air fryer basket, one pouch per egg. Alternatively, use a ramekin or silicone mold if you prefer.
- Spray the foil or dish lightly with grapeseed or olive oil spray to prevent sticking, then crack an egg into the pouch or dish.
- Place the pouch or ramekin in the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 390°F (200°C) for about 6 minutes for a soft, runny yolk. Adjust time to reach your preferred doneness (see timing guide below).
- Carefully remove the egg and serve immediately with your favorite breakfast sides.
Can you use Aluminum Foil in the Air Fryer?
Yes — aluminum foil is safe to use in most air fryers when used like you would in an oven. Small foil pouches hold the eggs and let hot air circulate around them. If you prefer, use oven-safe ramekins or silicone cupcake liners; they give neater shapes and are reusable.
Choose whichever option fits your equipment and preference: foil, ramekins, or silicone molds. All will produce well-cooked air fried eggs.
Tips for Making Air Fried Eggs:
- Air fryer models vary. The first time you make these, watch the cooking time closely and adjust as needed.
- Ramekins or silicone molds produce the prettiest shape. If you don’t have them, foil works fine.
- Add fresh herbs, grated cheese, or a spoonful of salsa before cooking for extra flavor.
How long do you cook Air Fried Eggs?
- Soft eggs with a runny yolk: 6–8 minutes
- Medium eggs: 8–10 minutes
- Hard eggs: 10–12 minutes
Use the shorter times for smaller air fryer baskets or higher heat, and add time for larger eggs or lower-temperature units. These eggs are also great for meal prep since they reheat well.
Should you use cooking oil spray to make Air Fried Eggs?
Lightly spray the foil, ramekin, or silicone mold before cracking the egg to prevent sticking. Grapeseed oil spray is a good choice because of its higher smoke point, but olive oil spray also works if used sparingly.
What should you serve Air Fried Eggs with?
Air fried eggs pair well with bacon, toast, avocado, biscuits, or cinnamon rolls. Use them on avocado toast, in egg salad, or simply season with salt, pepper, hot sauce, or salsa for a quick meal.
How do you store Air Fryer Eggs?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Let the eggs cool completely before refrigerating. Reheat briefly in the microwave on a microwave-safe plate for about 30 seconds or until warm.
These air fried eggs are an easy, dependable way to enjoy eggs cooked to your preference, and they can be made alongside other breakfast items without using the stovetop.
