Here’s a quick Air Fryer Poached Eggs recipe—soft, runny yolks without using a stovetop. 🥚✨
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 small heatproof ramekins or silicone cups
- 1–2 tsp water per ramekin
- Cooking spray or a little oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare Ramekins
- Lightly spray ramekins with oil to prevent sticking.
- Crack one egg into each ramekin.
- Add 1–2 tsp of water over the egg (this helps steam).
2. Preheat Air Fryer
- Preheat to 160°C / 320°F for 3 minutes.
3. Cook the Eggs
- Place ramekins in the air fryer basket.
- Cook 6–8 minutes, depending on your air fryer and how runny you like the yolk.
4. Check and Serve
- Carefully remove ramekins (use tongs or oven mitts).
- Check the eggs; yolks should be soft and whites fully set.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use fresh eggs for the best shape and texture.
- For firmer yolks, cook 1–2 minutes longer.
- You can add a teaspoon of vinegar in the ramekin to help the egg white hold its shape, just like traditional poaching.
