Making fried eggs in an air fryer is a simple and convenient way to achieve perfectly cooked eggs without the fuss of traditional frying. Here’s how to do it:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 160°C (320°F) for a few minutes. This helps to create an even cooking environment for your eggs.

2. Prepare the Egg Tray: Lightly grease the air fryer basket or use a small, oven-safe dish that fits inside the basket. A dash of oil or a bit of butter will prevent the eggs from sticking.

3. Crack the Eggs: Carefully crack the eggs directly into the greased basket or into your prepared dish. If you prefer your yolks intact, avoid breaking them when cracking.

4. Season: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the eggs to enhance their flavour. You can also add herbs or spices if you're feeling adventurous.

5. Cook the Eggs: Place the basket in the air fryer and cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you like your yolks. Keep an eye on them to ensure they reach your desired doneness.

6. Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the basket and allow the eggs to sit for a moment before serving. They can be enjoyed on toast, alongside bacon, or simply on their own.

Using an air fryer not only makes the process quicker but also reduces the amount of oil needed, making for a healthier breakfast option. Enjoy your perfectly fried eggs with minimal hassle!
