Here’s a simple, foolproof way to make poached eggs in an air fryer 🥚✨—no water swirling, no fancy equipment, just quick and clean.
🍳 Air Fryer Poached Eggs
⏱ Time
- Prep: 2 minutes
- Cook: 6–8 minutes
- Serves: 1–2
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 small ramekins or silicone molds
- Cooking spray or a few drops of oil
- Water (1–2 tsp per ramekin)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep the ramekins
- Lightly spray or grease each ramekin
- Add 1–2 tsp of water to the bottom (helps keep eggs moist)
2️⃣ Add the eggs
- Crack 1 egg into each ramekin
- Optional: gently pierce yolk with fork if you want faster cooking
3️⃣ Air fry
- Preheat air fryer to 350°F (175°C)
- Place ramekins in basket
- Cook 6–8 minutes depending on how runny you like the yolk
4️⃣ Serve
- Carefully remove ramekins (they’ll be hot!)
- Use a spoon to lift eggs onto toast, salad, or a breakfast bowl
- Season with salt, pepper, or fresh herbs
🌟 Tips
- For extra silky yolks: check at 6 min
- For firmer yolks: go up to 8 min
- Mini air fryer hack: use silicone cupcake liners if ramekins don’t fit
- No water swirling needed—air fryer keeps eggs gently steamed
