How to Make Perfect Poached Eggs in the Air Fryer

Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 4 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the Ramekins: Spray 3 ramekins with cooking spray (you can also use about 1-2 teaspoons of olive oil per ramekin; take a pastry brush and oil the whole ramekin). Add 3 tablespoons of warm water per ramekin.

Step 3

Poach the Eggs: Crack one egg into each ramekin. Place the ramekins in the preheated air fryer basket.

Step 4

Cook: Cook at 370 degrees F for 7 to 8 minutes. At the 6-minute mark, it will have a very runny yolk. You can open the air fryer, take a spoon, and gently release the egg, then cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Season: Season with salt and pepper to taste.
