Air fryer poached eggs are a new amazing way to cook poached eggs without babysitting the stove. They are quick and easy to make and are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried eggs. Plus, there’s no messy water to clean up afterward.
- PREP TIME3minutes
- COOK TIME5minutes
- TOTAL TIME5minutes
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 (air fry/air crisp setting)
-
When the “ready” timer beeps, spritz some oil into each ramekin and rub the oil with your finger around the edges. You can use the food brush instead.
-
Pour 3-4 tablespoons of hot water
-
Gently crack an egg into each ramekin
-
Place ramekins directly in the air fryer basket/tray.
-
Cook for 5-7 minutes. The timing will depend on the preferred doneness of the yolk. Please refer to the poached eggs cooking chart below.
-
-
Once cooked, remove the ramekins from the air fryer.
Then, using a rubber spatula, gently pry the eggs out of the ramekins.
If the eggs are stuck, you can try running a knife around the edge of the ramekins.
-
Once the eggs are loose, transfer them gently to a plate, or put them on prepared toast. Season with salt and pepper to your liking and enjoy!
