Air Fryer Poached Eggs

Here’s an easy, air fryer “poached” egg method (they’re gently cooked in water using ramekins—no boiling pot needed).

Air Fryer Poached Eggs (Serves 1–2)

You’ll need

• Eggs (1 per ramekin)

• Small oven-safe ramekins or heatproof bowls

• Hot water

• Nonstick spray or a little oil (optional)

• Salt & pepper (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.

2. Prep ramekins: Lightly grease each ramekin if you want easier release.

3. Add water: Pour 2–3 tablespoons of hot water into each ramekin.

4. Crack the egg gently into the water (keep the yolk intact).

5. Air fry: Carefully place the ramekins in the basket and cook for
   6–8 minutes, depending on how runny you like the yolk.

   • 6 min = very runny

   • 7 min = soft/runny

   • 8 min = more set

6. Remove carefully (they’re hot), lift the egg out with a spoon, and drain.

7. Season and serve.

Tips

• Covering the ramekin loosely with foil can help the top cook more evenly.

• If your air fryer runs hot, start checking at 5½–6 minutes.

• Great on toast, avocado toast, or with a breakfast bowl.

If you want, tell me your air fryer model or how runny you like the yolk, and I’ll fine-tune the timing.
