Weights are estimates. Together, the ingredients weigh about 105 g before cooking, which is about 105 g per serving.
Steps
Cut a hole in the center of the croissant, leaving enough pastry around the edges to support the egg. Place the croissant in an air-fryer basket or on a baking sheet.
Crack the egg into the hole in the croissant. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the egg and pastry, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Lightly spray the croissant with cooking oil.
For air frying, cook at 350°F (180 °C) (175°C (350 °F)) for 10–15 minutes, checking toward the end of the cooking time and removing it when the egg reaches your preferred doneness.
Alternatively, bake in a preheated 375°F (190 °C) (190°C (375 °F)) oven for 10–15 minutes, checking toward the end of the cooking time for your preferred egg doneness.
Remove the croissant from the air fryer or oven. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, then serve immediately.
Notes
The source gives a 10–15 minute range for both cooking methods; the exact time depends on how firm you prefer the egg. Take care when cutting the croissant and when removing the hot pastry.
