Need a quick and easy breakfast option? Making eggs in the air fryer is very quick especially when you try these air fryer eggs in silicone cups!
If you’re looking for a simple and quick breakfast idea, air fryer eggs in silicone cups might just become your new go-to! These eggs are customizable, and no mess because the egg stays in the silicone muffin cup.
Using an air fryer to make eggs is not only super convenient, but it also creates perfectly cooked eggs every time. The exact time that you want to cook your eggs will depend on if you want your eggs soft and runny or more well done. This post will show you how to do both so that you can pick your preference.
Why would you want to use Silicone Muffin Cups for Air Fryer Eggs?
Silicone Cups are very inexpensive and can be purchased on Amazon in a pack of 12. We use these cups for our Air Fryer Muffins too, they are perfect for air frying.
Silicone Cups are non-stick, easy to clean, and maintain the shape of the egg while they cook.
What ingredients do you need?
- Large Eggs
- Any Add-Ins from the list below!
Variations of Air Fryer Eggs:
When using silicone muffin tins, other ingredients can be added right in with your egg to make a low-carb egg or air fryer egg cup.
Add-In Ingredients:
- Cooked Bacon
- Cooked Sausage
- Ham
- Veggies such as – Spinach, Onion, Bell Pepper
- Shredded Cheeses such as – Cheddar Cheese or Mozzarella Cheese
- Herbs such as – Parsley, Chives, or Garlic
Once your eggs are cooked in the air fryer basket, simply remove them from the air fryer, pop the egg out of the silicone mold, and top with salt and pepper before serving!
How do you make Air Fryer Eggs in Silicone Cups?
Crack an egg into each muffin cup that you are using, alternatively, you can also use small ceramic ramekins too. Once you have the egg in the silicone cups, either move on to air frying or add in the extra ingredients that you plan to air fry with the egg mixture.
Place the silicone cups into the air fryer basket and air fry at 390 degrees F for 6-8 minutes. If you want the egg runny, then 6 minutes will work well but if you want it well done and more hard-boiled texture then cook for the full 8 minutes.
The images that you see here are mine that are well done at 8 minutes.
Remember that if this is your first time making air fryer egg cups, watch the cooking time closely as all air fryer machines tend to heat differently.
These Air Fryer Eggs in Silicone Cups are naturally gluten-free and quick to make for breakfast or even to store for the week as part of your meal prep.
Storage Instructions for Leftover Egg Muffins:
Once the cooked eggs have cooled, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They should be refrigerated within 2 hours of cooking.
When ready to serve, reheat on a microwave-safe plate in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute or in the air fryer on a heat-proof plate at 320 degrees F for 1-2 minutes.

Definitely something I would like to make. Can the silicone cups be used for any other air fryer recipes besides eggs? I hesitate to buy a dozen cups for 2 people just for cooking eggs.
