Eggs can be prepared using different cooking methods and appliances.
An air fryer is also a great appliance for making eggs.
All you need is the egg, an air fryer, and a small baking pan that can fit in an air fryer.

Take a mini pie pan, ramekin, or another small baking dish.
Lightly coat it with oil or cooking spray so that the egg doesn't stick to the dish.
Break the egg and place it in the dish.
Pull out the air fryer basket.
Put in the dish with the egg.
Put the basket back into the air fryer.
