Quick and easy, these baked eggs make a delicious breakfast or brunch served with a side of buttered toast soldiers. Enjoy as they are or get creative with a variety of toppings.

Ingredients:

2 tsp softened butter, for greasing
4 medium eggs
4 tbsp double cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

For the tomato, bacon and cheese topping:
4 cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
2 rashers of smoked streaky bacon, cooked and cut into small pieces
4 tsp grated cheddar

For the spinach, black olive and feta topping:
12 leaves baby spinach, finely shredded
8 black olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
4 tbsp feta cheese, crumbled

For the yoghurt, bell pepper and chilli topping:
4 tbsp Greek-style or natural yoghurt
4 tbsp bell pepper, finely chopped (any colour)
4 pinches dried red chilli flakes
4 pinches ground cumin
1 tsp fresh parsley, finely shredded, to be sprinkled after cooking

Method:

Pre-heat your air fryer to 150C. Lightly grease the inside of four 120ml ramekins with the butter.

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.

If using a topping, add your chosen ingredients now, dividing the quantities listed above equally between the four ramekins. (Note that each topping recipe is enough for four eggs.)

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.

Remove from the air fryer, season with salt and freshly-ground black pepper then serve.
