Ingredients

  • 4 medium eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon olive oil (for greasing ramekins)
  • 1 cup hot water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 cup of water in the microwave for about 2 minutes until very hot. Set aside.
  2. Lightly brush or spray the bottom of four oven-safe ramekins with olive oil.
  3. Place the empty ramekins in the air fryer basket and preheat the air fryer at 200°C (390°F) for 5 minutes.
  4. Carefully crack one egg into each hot ramekin while still in the air fryer basket.
  5. Gently pour 2 to 3 tablespoons of the hot water over each egg.
  6. Cook in the air fryer at 180°C (360°F) for 4 to 5 minutes, until the whites are set and yolks are runny.
  7. For firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1 minute.
  8. Use oven gloves to remove the ramekins. Loosen the eggs gently with a spatula if needed.
  9. Transfer to a plate, season with salt and pepper, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use room-temperature eggs for the most consistent results.
  • Do not leave eggs in ramekins after cooking, as residual heat will overcook them.
  • Preheating the air fryer helps set the egg whites quickly.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
