Craving perfectly fried eggs but short on time? Ditch the stovetop and embrace the air fryer! Cooking fried eggs in an air fryer is surprisingly simple and delivers consistently delicious results. No more splattered oil or babysitting the pan.
Here's the lowdown:
1. **Prep is Key:** Lightly grease your air fryer basket with cooking spray. You can also use a silicone liner for easy cleanup.
2. **Crack 'Em:** Carefully crack your eggs directly into the prepared basket.
3. **Fry Away:** Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Cooking time will vary depending on your desired yolk consistency. Start with 3-5 minutes for runny yolks, and add time for firmer yolks. Check after 3 minutes to avoid overcooking!
4. **Serve & Enjoy:** Gently remove the eggs with a spatula. Season with salt and pepper, and enjoy your air fryer fried eggs on toast, in a breakfast sandwich, or however you like!
This method is a game-changer for busy mornings. Enjoy perfectly cooked fried eggs with minimal effort and cleanup. Happy frying!
