Step 1: Prepare the Ramekins
- Lightly grease two small oven-safe ramekins with cooking spray or a little butter (optional).
- Add 2 tablespoons of water to each ramekin.
Step 2: Add the Eggs

Step 3: Air Fry
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes.
- Place the ramekins into the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 5–6 minutes for soft, runny yolks.
- For firmer yolks, cook for 7–8 minutes.
Step 4: Remove the Eggs
- Carefully remove the hot ramekins using tongs or oven mitts.
- Let them cool for about 30 seconds.
Step 5: Serve
