Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- cooking oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat Your Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to a moderate temperature. Feel the warmth fill the kitchen. This step ensures even cooking for the eggs. Forgetting to preheat can lead to unevenly cooked eggs that are not as fluffy.
- Arrange the Eggs: Gently crack the eggs into the air fryer basket. Ensure they are spaced out to avoid sticking together. This will help them cook evenly; avoid overcrowding the basket to prevent parts from being undercooked.
- Cook to Your Preference: Let the eggs cook for about five minutes. You will see them start to set, and the aroma will fill your space. Keep an eye on them as they cook, as too much time might lead to firm yolks if you prefer a runny center.
- Check & Adjust Timing: After five minutes, check the eggs for doneness. You can assess by giving the basket a gentle shake and gauging how firm they are. If they need a little extra time, increase the cooking time in one-minute increments until they reach your desired style.
- Serve & Enjoy: Carefully remove the eggs from the fryer once they are perfect. Lean in for that first whiff as you serve them up, and pair with your favorite sides. Avoid leaving them in too long as they can dry out quickly and lose that lovely texture.
