🍳 Air Fryer Poached Eggs

🧂 Ingredients:

• 1 large egg (or as many as you need)

• Cooking spray or oil (for greasing ramekins)

• Water (about 2–3 tablespoons per ramekin)

---

🧁 You’ll Need:

• Ramekins or silicone muffin cups that fit in your air fryer basket

---

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Preheat your air fryer

• Set it to 370°F (188°C) for about 3–5 minutes while you prep.

2. Prepare ramekins

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

• Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water to each one.

3. Crack an egg into each ramekin

• Carefully crack one egg into each water-filled ramekin.

4. Air fry

• Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket.

• Air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 5–7 minutes, depending on your air fryer and how runny or set you like your yolks.

5. Check doneness

• Around the 5-minute mark, check your eggs. Whites should be set and yolks soft or slightly runny.

• If needed, air fry for an additional 1–2 minutes.

6. Serve

• Use a spoon to carefully lift the egg from the ramekin (or gently turn it out).

• Season with salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs and enjoy over toast, grain bowls, or salads.

📝 Notes:

• Every air fryer is different: Check early the first time you make these, and adjust timing for your specific model.

• You can make multiple poached eggs at once — just be sure the ramekins fit in the basket with airflow.
