You can totally make poached eggs in the air fryer — it’s surprisingly easy and comes out beautifully once you get the hang of it. Perfect for when you want that runny yolk goodness without the hassle of boiling water. 🍳✨

🥚 Air Fryer Poached Eggs

🛒 You’ll Need:

• 1 egg (or more, depending on your air fryer space)

• Cooking spray or oil

• Ramekins or silicone muffin cups

• 1–2 tablespoons of hot water (per ramekin)

• Salt & pepper (optional)

⚙️ Instructions:

1. Prep Your Ramekins:

   • Lightly grease the inside of each ramekin or silicone cup with cooking spray or a dab of oil.

   • Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot water to each ramekin.

2. Crack the Egg:

   • Gently crack one egg into each prepared ramekin, over the water.

3. Air Fry:

   • Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for 2–3 minutes.

   • Place the ramekins carefully in the air fryer basket.

   • Cook for 5–6 minutes for soft poached eggs (runny yolk), or 7–8 minutes for firmer whites and medium yolk.

4. Remove & Serve:

   • Carefully lift the ramekins out with tongs or oven mitts (they’ll be hot!).

   • Use a spoon to gently lift the egg out.

   • Season with salt, pepper, herbs — or serve over toast, avo, or on a breakfast bowl.

🔁 Tips & Tricks:

• Don’t skip the water — it’s key to creating that gentle poaching effect in the air fryer.

• Every air fryer model is a little different, so test with one egg first to find your perfect timing.

• For easier removal, run a butter knife gently around the edge of the egg after cooking.
