Best Vessel to Cook Air Fryer Baked Eggs or Egg Muffin Cups?
Check out our photo collage below that illustrates all your options! There’s several options to making air fried baked eggs or egg muffin cups. We like to use the silicone muffin cups for single servings. It’s a great way to personalize each persons baked egg serving. These silicone muffin cups are easy to use and with some olive oil spray, the egg doesn’t stick. For multiple servings, there’s the tart silicone cups or the smaller pie/cake tins that come with the air fryer accessories.
- Pizza pan from the 3.2qt. – 3.7qt Accessory Set (7″ size) – This very versatile little pan can serve up to 4 large eggs. The low pan allows the eggs to cook quicker too.
- Wilton Mini Silicone Tart Molds- Small and perfect for one large egg per mold. Ideal for multiple single-egg servings. If you’re wanting to add milk and other ingredients, these might be too small.
- Jumbo Sized Silicone Baking Muffin Shaped Cups- Works great for more ambitious baked eggs where you want to do a double egg or extra bacon, spinach, cheese, sausage, yum…
- Large Bakerpan Smooth Sided Silicone Baking Cups- Same as the Jumbo sized silicone cups, except these don’t look like muffin cups. They have straight edges for easier cleaning.
- Standard Size OXO Silicone Baking Cup- These are awesome because they have little handles for easier holding. But they only come in small sizes, so ideal for single egg servings.
- Standard Sized Silicone Baking Muffin Shaped Cups- Adorable and great for single egg servings.
What Size Muffin Cups Fit in an Air Fryer?
- 3.7 qt – Cosori Air Fryer basket fits 4 Standard Size OXO Silicone Baking Cup perfectly without touching. Can also fit2-3 small ceramic dishes, depending on the thickness of the ceramic dish walls.

Ingredients
- 1 large (1 large) egg
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) milk or half & half
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) frozen spinach , thawed (or sautéed fresh spinach)
- 1-2 teaspoons (5 ml) grated cheese
- salt , to taste
- black pepper , to taste
- Cooking Spray , for muffin cups or ramekins
Instructions
Spray inside of silicone muffin cups or ramekin with oil spray. Add egg, milk, spinach and cheese into the muffin cup or ramekin.
Add salt, pepper or seasonings to the egg. Gently stir ingredients into egg whites without breaking the yolk.
Air Fry at 330°F for about 6-12 minutes (single egg cups usually take about 6 minutes – multiple or doubled up cups take as much as 12. As you add more egg cups, you will need to add more time.)
Timing Note: Cooking in a ceramic ramekin may take a little longer. If you want runny yolks, cook for less time.Keep checking the eggs after 5 minutes to ensure the egg is to yourpreferred texture.
Notes
- Recipes were cooked in 3-4 qt air fryers. If using a larger air fryer, the recipe might cook quicker so adjust cooking time.
- Recipe timing is based off of NOT pre-heating before cooking. If you pre-heat beforehand, or arecooking in multiple batches, reduce the time for cooking for the pre-heated or subsequent batches.
If your air fryer is preheated or if you are cooking multiple batches, you may need to reduce timing by a few minutes (unless preheating is called for in the recipe).

When I was little my Mom would serve us soft-boiled eggs over buttered toast if we weren’t feeling well. That’s one of my favorite memories. I’m the only person who eats eggs in my house and soft boiling one egg is kinda a pain. Thank you for posting this…I’m trying this tonight!
