How to make cloud egg in an air fryer

1. First break the egg (if you make more than one you will still have to proceed with one egg at a time) and divide the white from the yolk . It is very important that the latter remains intact so handle it with care.
2. Season the egg white with a pinch of salt and whip it with an electric whisk until stiff.
3. On a square of parchment paper form a disc of egg white about 3 cm thick and, using the back of a spoon, form a hollow in the centre.
4. Cook at 150-160°C for 4 minutes then gently add the yolk and continue cooking for another 3 minutes . Serve the cloud eggs piping hot.
