Air fryer poached eggs are a game changer, offering a quick and easy way to make poached eggs without the hassle of stove-top cooking. This method is not only simple but also results in perfectly cooked eggs every time, without the mess of boiling water. Plus, it’s a healthier alternative to fried eggs. Here’s how you can make your own air fryer poached eggs!
Preparation Time:
- Prep Time: 3 minutes
- Cook Time: 5 minutes
- Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- Oil spray (I use ghee butter)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- 6 tablespoons hot water
- Toast (optional)
Instructions:
⇆
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (177°C) for 3 minutes (using the air fry/air crisp setting).
- When the timer beeps, spritz some oil into each ramekin. Rub the oil around the edges with your finger or use a food brush for even coverage.
- Pour 3-4 tablespoons of hot water into each ramekin.
- Crack an egg gently into each ramekin.
- Place the ramekins directly into the air fryer basket/tray.
- Cook for 5-7 minutes, depending on your preferred yolk doneness. Check the poached egg cooking chart below for guidance on timing.
- Once cooked, remove the ramekins from the air fryer.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently pry the eggs out of the ramekins. If they’re stuck, you can run a knife around the edges to loosen them.
- Once the eggs are free, transfer them to a plate or onto prepared toast.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy your perfect air fryer poached eggs!
Tip: Adjust the cooking time based on your desired yolk consistency. The longer you cook, the firmer the yolk will be.
Enjoy a hassle-free, perfectly poached egg without the mess!
