Spray ramekins or silicone cups with cooking oil.

Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (approximately 400°F) for 5 minutes.

Add about 3 to 4 tablespoons of simmering water to each ramekin or silicone mold, or about half a cup if using a larger ramekin.

Crack an egg into each ramekin or silicone mold.

Carefully place the mold inside the air fryer basket, being cautious as the air fryer is hot.

Reduce the temperature to 180°C (approximately 360°F) and air fry for 7 minutes.

Adjust cooking time based on desired doneness: 5-6 minutes for soft runny yolks, 7 minutes for medium runny yolks, 7-8 minutes for firmer yolks, and 8-10 minutes for hard yolks with fully cooked whites.

Use a spoon to carefully lift the egg from the water and transfer it to a slotted spoon to drain excess water.

Slide the egg onto a plate.

Remove the eggs immediately from the air fryer to prevent further cooking; if they are not done to your liking, air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes.
