On approach to KAVL; we received an EGPWS warning. It was day; VMC and positive visual verification found that no obstacle or terrain hazard existed so the warning was regarded as cautionary and the approach was continued; per the [flight manual]. After turning final and descending; flaps 45 was selected at approximately 1000 and the aircraft was stabilized at 500 feet. A normal landing was performed.Rising terrain beneath the aircraft appeared to have triggered the warning based on closure rate. That caused a momentary delay in configuring the aircraft for landing.Due to surrounding terrain; vectors to the final approach course well outside the FAF would have helped to avoid the terrain issue and allowed additional time to configure the aircraft for landing.
Air Carrier First Officer reported EGPWS warning on approach to landing.
