Here’s a simple way to make poached eggs in your air fryer—quick, easy, and perfect for breakfast or adding to salads and toast.
🥚 Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- Water (enough to fill a small ramekin 1/3 full)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: herbs, cheese, or hot sauce
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer
- Set your air fryer to 370°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Prepare Ramekin
- Lightly grease a small ramekin or oven-safe dish.
- Add about 2–3 tablespoons of water to the ramekin.
- Add Eggs
- Crack the egg gently into the water in the ramekin.
- Air Fry
- Place the ramekin in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 6–8 minutes depending on your desired yolk consistency.
- For slightly runny yolk, aim for 6 minutes; for firm yolk, cook 8 minutes.
- Serve
- Use a spoon to carefully lift the egg out of the water.
- Season with salt, pepper, and optional toppings.
🌟 Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Poached Eggs
- Use room temperature eggs for even cooking.
- Make sure ramekins are oven-safe and fit in your air fryer.
- You can cook multiple eggs if you have several ramekins—just don’t overcrowd the basket.
