Air fryer poached eggs

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 2–3 tbsp hot water
• Butter or cooking spray (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes.
2. Lightly grease a small ramekin, if desired.
3. Pour 2–3 tablespoons of hot water into the ramekin.
4. Crack the egg into the water.
5. Air fry for:
   • 5–6 minutes for a runny yolk
   • 6–7 minutes for a jammy yolk
   • 7–8 minutes for a firmer yolk
6. Carefully lift the egg out with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on a paper towel.

Tips

• Cooking time varies by air fryer model, so check your first egg at the 5-minute mark.
• Covering the ramekin loosely with foil can help the top cook more evenly if your air fryer has a strong fan.
• Serve on toast, avocado toast, English muffins, grain bowls, or salads.
