This came out PERFECTLY, and will definitely save me time in the morning!! – Jackie 
Air fryer fried eggs are my new favorite way to use the air fryer. They only take 3-5 minutes, and there’s no skillet to clean afterwards.
Air frying eggs is going to make your mornings easier. And you can make them however you like them best. Sunny side up eggs, over easy eggs, over hard eggs, scrambled eggs…
I’ve got tips on making all your favorite eggs in the air fryer in the FAQs below. But the simple air fryer fried egg might just be the best.
If you have mini pie pans, you can make perfectly round fried eggs like in the photos. They’re wonderful for egg breakfast sandwiches. The combo of runny egg yolk and toast is the best!
And if you don’t have mini pie tins, you can experiment with using a ramekin, or another small baking dish. Just make sure it’s oven safe and fits in your air fryer, and you’ll be all set safety-wise.
I hope you get to try making fried egg in the air fryer soon. It’s a fun twist on a classic breakfast recipe.
⭐Fried Eggs in Air Fryer Ingredients
What do you need to make air fried eggs? All you need are eggs and cooking spray. So easy! Use a non-aerosol cooking oil spray. Some people report that aerosol cooking sprays damaged their air fryer. For oil type, I tend to use avocado oil spray, but olive oil, canola oil, or coconut oil also works. The only pieces of kitchen equipment you need for this recipe are an air fryer and 5-inch diameter non-stick pie tins. With mini pie pans, there’s no need for foil, parchment paper, or something else to hold the eggs.
The Ninja Foodi, Philips, Nuwave, Pampered Chef, Actifry, Instant Pot Vortex, Cosori, Breville, and other air fryers can cook eggs as well. However, keep in mind that cooking times can vary between air fryer brands.
Always keep a close eye on the food whenever you try new air fryer recipes. That’s the best way to ensure you’ll have perfect results every time.

How long to cook fried eggs in the air fryer? What temperature to air fry fried eggs? Air fry eggs for 3-5 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190C). If you have an air fryer oven, use the top rack position.
Make sure the egg white is firm and solid. Five minutes got me a fried egg with a nice runny egg yolk. Air fry your eggs longer for firm yolks.
I’m having you check the eggs after 3 minutes since some air fryers cook faster than others. After cooking, sprinkle with a little salt and black pepper (if desired), and remove the egg from the pan with a spatula.
Fried eggs really don’t reheat or freeze well. Luckily, it’s easy to just make what you need!

💭 Expert Tips from a Dietitian
This is a level 1 recipe (may help support fat loss). Eggs are one of my favorite breakfast options for weight watchers and general weight loss. They are a protein dense food that are only 70 calories each.
Common American weekday breakfasts (cereals, muffins, waffles, pastries, etc.) tend to be high in calories relative to their protein and volume. For a morning meal with staying power, eggs (plus fruits or veggies and maybe some dairy) are a great choice.
If you tend to be a light eater in the morning, two eggs with one cup of berries is only around 200 calories. It’s a healthy snack, rich in an assortment of beneficial nutrients. Make it more substantial meal by adding a glass of milk, toast, and a sausage patty or bacon.
Eggs provide 13 essential vitamins and minerals. This includes choline, selenium, riboflavin, phosphorus, vitamin B12, and vitamin A. Most of the nutrition in the eggs in found in the yolk, so don’t be afraid to enjoy whole eggs!
Note: If you’re in a group that’s at higher risk of foodborne illness, I recommend cooking your egg yolks until firm. Simply air fry eggs longer until the yolk is no longer runny.
