Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (the fresher, the better)
- 1/4 cup water (helps steam the eggs to perfection)
- Cooking spray or a bit of oil (to prevent sticking)
Instructions
1. Prepare Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F. This air fryer setup ensures the right cooking environment for your eggs.
2. Grease Ramekins: Lightly grease ramekins with cooking spray or oil. This step prevents the eggs from sticking and makes cleanup easy.
3. Crack Eggs: Carefully crack eggs into the greased ramekins. If you’re aiming for that traditional poached effect, add a tablespoon of water on top of each egg.
4. Air Fryer Poached Eggs Technique: Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket. For eggs with a runny yolk, cook for about 6 minutes. For medium doneness, aim for 8 minutes. And for fully set yolks, 10 minutes should do the trick.
5. Check Doneness: Use the air fryer temperature and timings as a guide but check your eggs a minute before the timer goes off. Egg doneness can vary based on specific air fryer models.
6. Serve Immediately: Once done, use tongs to carefully remove the ramekins. Allow them to cool for a minute, then run a knife around the edge to release the eggs. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For those who love experimenting, try adding herbs or spices into the ramekin before cooking. This can add a unique twist to your poached eggs.
