Air Fryer Poached Eggs

Ingredients:

  • 2 fresh eggs any amount of eggs can be made; see notes below
  • non-stick cooking spray
  • 6 tablespoons water you’ll use 3 tablespoons for each egg you cook

Instructions:

  1. Spray each ramekin or custard cup with non-stick cooking spray and set them into the basket of the air fryer.
  2. Add 3 tablespoons of water to each cup.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer (with the cups of water in it) to 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
  4. Carefully open the air fryer so the water does not spill water out of the cups. Crack one egg into each cup. NOTE: The egg whites may begin to cook as you do this due to the hot water.
  5. Cook on 360 degrees for 5-6 minutes.
  6. Check the eggs when the cooking time is complete. They will continue to cook while in the hot water so be careful to not overcook them (unless you want a less runny yolk).
  7. The cups will be hot so take care in removing them from the air fryer. Gently slide a small pliable small spatula around the edge of the egg and underneath to free it in the even it has stuck to the cup while cooking.
  8. Use a spoon to gently lift it out of the cup onto your plate or onto a piece of toast.
