      Instructions<\/h3>\n
      \n
        \n
      • \n
        Heat 1 cup water in microwave for about 2 minutes till it is really hot. We need about a cup of water depending upon how many eggs you are planning to cook at one go.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

        Air fryer Poached Eggs with Silicone Molds Instructions<\/h4>\n
          \n
        • \n
          Take silicone molds and spray or brush them with oil. Place 3 silicone molds or as many will fit in your air fryer.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Preheat air fryer at 390F or 200C for 5 minutes.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Take out the basket. The molds are hot so leave them in the air fryer basket. Now break an egg directly in the mold.<\/p>\n
          <\/div>\n

          Keep hot water ready. Pour 3-4 tbsp. of hot water over the egg. You will see some of it starting to cook the egg white right away.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n
          Repeat for the other molds. Now place the air fryer basket back in the air fryer.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Air fry at 360F or 180C for about 3-4 minutes. Mine were done to perfection at 4 minutes.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Keep an eye on the eggs after 3 minutes air frying time.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          The yolk was runny and the white was perfectly done.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          If you like your poached eggs to have cooked yolks then cook for a minute or 2 longer.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          These are for medium room temperature eggs. For eggs from the fridge, add 30 seconds or 1 minute more.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Same will apply to large eggs.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Take out your poached eggs with a spatula. They come out easily. Top with salt and pepper and enjoy.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

          Air fryer Poached Eggs with Ramekins Instructions<\/h4>\n
            \n
          • \n
            Take ramekins and gently spray them on the bottom with oil. Place 4 ramekins or as many will fit in your air fryer and preheat air fryer at 390F or 200C for 5 minutes.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            Be very careful while handling the ramekins now. I put in the cracked egg in the ramekin while it is still in the air fryer basket.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            Then add 2-3 tbsp. of hot water on top of each cracked egg.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            You will see that the white of the egg starts coagulating right away.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            Carefully, place the air fryer basket back in.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            Air fry at 180C or 360F for 4-5 minutes till the whites are set and the yolks stay runny.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            If you like slightly cooked yolks, you can air fry for a minute more.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            Again, depending upon your air fryer, your time may vary slightly.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            Keep an eye on the air frying time after 4 minutes.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            While taking out the ramekin, be very careful as they will be hot.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            Handle using gloves. Use spatula to gently dislodge the egg if it feels stuck to the base.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            Take it out and plate it. Sprinkle salt and pepper along with some finely chopped parsley. Enjoy.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
          • \n
            I could make a batch of 4 poached eggs at one go in my air fryer.<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
            \n
            \n
            \n
            \n
            <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
            \n

            Notes<\/h3>\n
            1. I used eggs at room temperature. If yours are right from the fridge, you may take a minute more.<\/p>\n
            <\/div>\n

            2. Both silicone moulds and ramekins work well here. Poached eggs come out very cleanly with silicone molds.<\/p>\n

            <\/div>\n

            3. If you forget to preheat your air fryer, do not worry. You can just increase the air frying time be a couple of minutes.<\/p><\/div>\n

            4. Large eggs take slightly longer to cook. I have shared the recipe for medium eggs.<\/p>\n
            <\/div>\n

            5. These poached eggs are best eaten fresh. They really can\u2019t be stored and reheated. Take them out of the ramekins as soon as you take them out of the air fryer basket. They continue to cook and may get overcooked if left inside hot ramekins for longer.<\/p><\/div>\n

            6. Handle the ramekins or molds with care as they are very hot. Use tongs or towel.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
            \n
