How to Make Air Fryer Poached Eggs
Step 1: Prep Your Ramekins
- Lightly grease small ramekins or silicone molds with cooking spray or butter. This ensures the eggs don’t stick.
- Add 1/2 cup of hot water to each ramekin—this helps create the steamy environment needed for poaching.
Step 2: Crack the Eggs
- Carefully crack an egg into each ramekin, making sure not to break the yolk.
Step 3: Cook in the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket and cook for 5-7 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk:
- 5 minutes – Ultra-runny yolk
- 6 minutes – Soft but slightly set yolk
- 7 minutes – Firmer yolk but still creamy
Step 4: Remove & Serve
- Carefully remove the ramekins from the air fryer (use tongs or oven mitts).
- Use a slotted spoon to gently lift the poached egg from the water.
- Season with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs, if desired.
