Line the air fryer rack with a liner or tin foil for easy cleanup, then lightly spray with oil.
Place the egg-coated crumpets on the liner in a single layer.
Air fry at 200°C for about 6 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the egg is cooked through. Flip the crumpets halfway through cooking with tongs to brown both sides evenly.
