Air-fryer-poached-eggs

Serves: 2
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 5–8 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 2 tbsp water (1 tbsp per ramekin)
• Butter or cooking spray, for greasing the ramekins
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes.
2. Lightly grease two small oven-safe ramekins.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of water to each ramekin.
4. Crack one egg into each ramekin.
5. Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket.
6. Air fry for:
   • 5–6 minutes for a runny yolk
   • 6–7 minutes for a jammy yolk
   • 7–8 minutes for a firmer yolk
7. Carefully remove the ramekins—they will be hot.
8. Use a spoon to gently lift out the eggs, season with salt and black pepper, and serve immediately.

Serving Suggestions

• On buttered toast
• Over avocado toast
• With sautéed spinach
• On English muffins
• Alongside smoked salmon
• With roasted tomatoes and mushrooms

Tips

• Cooking times vary slightly between air fryer models, so check the eggs a minute early the first time you make them.
• Silicone muffin cups or small oven-safe ramekins work well for this recipe.
• For easier removal, run a small silicone spatula or butter knife around the edge before lifting out the egg.
