Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 drizzle extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
Tools
- Air Fryer
Steps
Drizzle a little oil into the muffin cups or aluminum molds and brush it well on the bottom and sides.
Carefully crack an egg into each cup, trying not to break the yolk.
Add a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and a teaspoon of grated Parmesan on top of the yolk. The Parmesan will create a slight crust, protecting the yolk from cooking and keeping it creamier.
Preheat the air fryer to 320°F, then cook the eggs for 5-6 minutes, until the whites are well-cooked and the yolk is still soft.
Oven alternative: If you prefer to cook them in the oven, preheat it to 350°F and bake the cups on a tray. Cook for 8-10 minutes, ensuring the whites set without drying out the yolk.
Gently remove the eggs from the cups using a spatula along the edges, but as you will see, thanks to the oil they will not stick.
Serve the eggs immediately, perhaps accompanied by a slice of freshly toasted bread for an even tastier touch! Enjoy your meal.
