Ingredients

3 eggs
9 tablespoons hot water, divided
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 4 minutes.

Spray 3 ramekins with cooking spray (you can also use about 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil per ramekin; take a pastry brush and oil the whole ramekin). Add 3 tablespoons of warm water per ramekin.

Crack one egg into each ramekin. Place the ramekins in the preheated air fryer basket.

Cook at 370 degrees F for 7 to 8 minutes. At the 6-minute mark, it will have a very runny yolk. You can open the air fryer, take a spoon, and gently release the egg, then cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.
