## Equipment

- air fryer
- ovenproof ramekins
- oven mitt
- tea towel
- large dessert spoon

## Tips

- Be sure to use boiling water, not just hot tap water as this affects the cooking time.
- The ramekins heat up a lot in the air fryer, so once the cooking time is up, open up the air fryer basket and stand for 1 minute.
- The eggs will continue to cook on standing, so don't worry if they look a little underdone at first.
- This is also really important to cool down the ramekins a little bit so that you can safely remove them from the air fryer basket.
- The trick is to be very careful when lifting them out of the water and getting the spoon fully under the egg to lift it out, as you don’t want to burst the yolk just yet.
- Drain the eggs on some paper towel to get rid of any excess water, so you don't end up with soggy toast!
