Ingredients

Ingredients:

1 large egg refridgerated
spray Avocado oil

Tools:

A shallow non-stick bake pan or tray
Oven mitts
A firm spatula

Instructions

Spray the non-stick oven safe bake pan with oil. Place it in the fryer basket and preheat it for 5 minutes at 400°F (204 °C).
Crack an egg to a small cup and slide the egg to the hot pan. Air fry at 350°F (177°C) for 3 minutes for a sunny side over easy fried egg.
If you prefer a fried egg with medium egg yolk, add 1 more minute to the cooking time. Use a spatula with firm tip to remove the egg.

Notes

After preheating the air fryer at 400°F (204 °C) for 5 minutes, air fry the egg at 350°F (177°C). Here’s how long to cook eggs in air fryer for different yoke preferences:

Runny yolk: 3 minutes
Medium egg yolk: 4 minutes
Firm egg yolk: 5 minutes
For over-easy eggs in an air fryer (or over medium eggs/over hard eggs) cook as directed and then flip it with a spatula and cook for an additional minute.

Note: If using a ramekin when baking eggs in an air fryer, increase the total cook time by extra 1-2 minutes to achieve the desired outcome.
