FAQ's

Test kitchen tips

• I used olive oil spray to grease my cast iron pan, but you can use your favorite cooking oil spray. 
• Not a fan of cooking spray? Grease your pan with butter, vegetable oil, canola oil, or coconut oil to prevent the eggs from sticking. 
• Don't have a cast iron skillet? You can use a pie pan or oven-safe pan that will fit into your air fryer instead. 
• If you don't like sunny-side-up eggs, make over-easy eggs by flipping them, and then cooking them again in the air fryer for an additional 1-2 minutes. 
• Top your eggs with a sprinkle of your favorite seasonings or fresh herbs for more flavor. Additionally, you can add a splash of hot sauce for some heat.
• Cooking times may vary based on your air fryer model make sure that keep a close eye on your eggs to prevent them from burning. 
• For medium eggs, add an extra minute to your cooking time.

Refrigerate -  Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
