Description

Perfectly cooked air fryer baked eggs in just 10 minutes — runny, jammy, or fully set yolk your choice. Naturally keto-friendly with only 1g carbs per serving. The easiest hands-off egg recipe you will ever make.

Ingredients 

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoons butter, preferred or cooking spray
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoons heavy cream, optional, for extra richness

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 300–330°F for 3 minutes
  • Place 1 teaspoons butter (preferred) or cooking spray in a 4–5 inch oven-safe ramekin. Put in the air fryer for 1 minute, to melt and coat the bottom and sides. Swirl to coat evenly.
  • Crack each egg into a small cup first, then gently slide into the buttered ramekin. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon black pepper. Optionally add 1 tablespoons heavy cream (optional, for extra richness) around the edge of the white for extra richness.
  • Place ramekin in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 300 degrees F without opening the basket set cook time for 6-13 minutes.
  • Use oven mitts to remove the ramekin — it will be very hot. Run a thin spatula around the edge to loosen. Serve directly in the ramekin or slide onto a plate. Add any fresh herb garnishes and serve immediately.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Cooking Spray
  • Ramekins, or Silicone Muffin Liners

Notes

Notes

Doneness guide: 6–7 min = very runny | 8–9 min = jammy | 10–11 min = medium | 12–13 min = fully set. Check at the low end first — eggs overcook quickly.
Use butter, not spray: Butter prevents sticking better and gives the egg white beautiful golden edges. Melt in the ramekin for 60 seconds before adding the egg.
Container tip: Any 4–5 inch oven-safe ramekin, silicone mold, or mini cake pan works. Never use plastic.
Keto info: 2 eggs = ~140 cal, 12g protein, 10g fat, 1g net carbs.
Reheating: Air fryer at 300°F for 2–3 minutes. Do not microwave on full power — overcooks the yolk.
