Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 150°C/Fan 130°C/Gas 2. Lightly grease the inside of four 120ml/4oz ramekins with the butter.
  2. Crack an egg into each ramekin, making sure the yolk stays whole. Spoon 1 tablespoon of cream over the egg white – it doesn’t matter if it spreads a little onto the yolk.
  3. If using a topping, add your chosen ingredients now, dividing the quantities listed above equally between the four ramekins. Each topping recipe is enough for four eggs.
  4. For the basic eggs, bake in the air fryer for 7–10 minutes, or until the whites are just set and the yolk is cooked to your liking. For eggs with added toppings, bake for 12–15 minutes.
  5. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to serve.
