❓ Q & A

Q: Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

A: Yes. Preheating ensures even cooking and prevents rubbery whites.

Q: Can I cook more than 4 eggs?

A: Yes—just make sure air can circulate around the ramekins. Cook in batches if needed.

Q: Why cook at 300°F instead of higher?

A: Eggs cook gently. Higher temps cause tough whites and overcooked yolks.

Q: Can I use silicone cups instead of ramekins?

A: Absolutely. Silicone works well and releases easily.

Q: Can I crack eggs directly into the basket?

A: No—always use ramekins or heat-safe cups to avoid mess and uneven cooking.

Q: How do I prevent overcooking?

A:

• Pull eggs 1 minute early

• Let them rest

• Remember: air fryers vary slightly

Q: Can I make these dairy-free?

A: Yes. Just skip cream and cheese—use olive oil or spray instead.

Q: Are these good for meal prep?

A: Best eaten fresh. Reheated eggs tend to get rubbery.

A:

• Toast or sourdough

• Avocado slices

• Breakfast potatoes
