What matters
Small hollows let egg overflow.
Air fryer avocado eggs for a small breakfast portion. Enlarge the hollows, support the halves securely and cook the eggs until fully set.
Why this recipe works
One large avocado makes two small breakfast portions. Eat scooped flesh separately; it remains in the nutrition calculation. The eggs are not intended to stay runny.
Recipe
Air fryer avocado eggs for a small breakfast portion. Enlarge the hollows, support the halves securely and cook the eggs until fully set.
Halve and stone avocado. Enlarge hollows to hold an egg each; mix scooped flesh with lemon juice and chill.
Support halves in suitable heatproof moulds. Crack eggs individually into a cup and slide inside. Season with salt and pepper. Use a heatproof dish suitable for the appliance, leaving space around it for airflow. Do not preheat with loose paper.
If required by the manufacturer, preheat for 3 minutes at 170 °C. Cook about 20 minutes at 170 °C. Both white and yolk must be completely firm; extend if needed. Check that the thickest part reaches at least 70 °C for 2 minutes; continue cooking if needed.
Remove with oven gloves and serve with chilled lemon avocado flesh. Do not handle hot skins with bare hands.
