What You’ll Need:
• Air fryer
• Ramekins or small heat-proof bowls
• Eggs (as many as you like)
• Hot water (from a kettle or tap)
• Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
• Oil spray (optional, to prevent sticking)
PREPARATION:
STEP 1: PREHEAT YOUR AIR FRYER
Set your air fryer to 340°F (170°C) and let it preheat for 2-3 minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking and consistent results.
STEP 2: PREPARE THE RAMEKINS
Lightly spray the inside of each ramekin with a bit of cooking oil (optional but helps prevent sticking). Then, pour about 3 tablespoons of hot water into each ramekin. The water helps steam the egg and mimic the traditional poaching method.
STEP 3: CRACK THE EGG
Gently crack an egg into each ramekin. Make sure the yolk stays intact. If you’re making multiple poached eggs, prepare each one in a separate ramekin.
STEP 4: AIR FRY THE EGGS
Place the ramekins carefully into the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 340°F (170°C) and cook for 5–7 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you like your yolk:
• 5 minutes: Runny yolk, soft white
• 6 minutes: Slightly firmer yolk
• 7 minutes: Firmer yolk, fully set white
(Note: Air fryer times may vary by model, so you may need to experiment to find your perfect timing.)
STEP 5: REMOVE AND SERVE
