Five eggs, mozzarella balls, and pieces of hunters sausage cook together in one parchment-lined air fryer basket, so breakfast for two lands on the table in about 20 minutes with almost no washing up. The parchment matters: it stops raw egg seeping through the holes in the basket and lets you lift the whole plate out in one piece. A spoonful of pesto melts over everything as it cooks at 180°C (350°F). For soft yolks, peek at 12 minutes and pull the basket as soon as the whites turn opaque; the full 15 minutes gives you firm, sliceable eggs. Crusty bread on the side finishes it off.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I keep the yolks soft?
Check at 12–13 minutes — for runny yolks pull it as soon as the whites set; leave the full 15 minutes for firmer eggs. Air fryers vary, so watch the first time.
Do I need parchment?
Yes — it stops the egg running through the basket and makes it easy to lift out. Leave gaps at the edges so air still circulates.
What else can I add?
Cherry tomatoes, spinach, peppers or different cheeses all work. Keep it to one layer so everything cooks evenly around the eggs.
