🍳 Air Fryer Poached Eggs

No boiling water, no fuss — just perfect poached eggs made right in your air fryer! 🙌

If you love a silky poached egg but hate the swirling water method, your air fryer is about to become your new breakfast hero. This is the easiest way to get soft, jammy yolks without breaking a sweat (or a yolk). 👌

🛒 Ingredients:

• 🥚 Eggs (as many as you’d like, just don’t overcrowd)

• 🧴 Cooking spray or a little oil (optional, but helpful)

• 🧂 Salt & pepper for seasoning (optional)

🔧 Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Air Fryer 🔥

Set your air fryer to 325°F (163°C).
Note: Every air fryer is different, so you may need to tweak the temp slightly to suit your model.

2. Crack Your Eggs Like a Pro 💡

Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin first. This gives you more control when sliding them into the basket — no broken yolks here!

3. Prep the Basket 🧽

Lightly spray the air fryer basket or ramekin with cooking spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.
Pro Tip: Use parchment rounds or silicone egg cups for easy cleanup!

4. Add Eggs to Basket 🧺

Carefully pour each egg into the greased basket or ramekin.
Leave space between eggs if you’re cooking more than one to ensure even air circulation.

5. Cook to Perfection ⏲️

Air fry for 5–7 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you like your yolks:

• ⏱️ 5 minutes = soft-set whites, very runny yolks

• ⏱️ 6 minutes = firmer whites, jammy yolks

• ⏱️ 7 minutes = mostly set yolks

Peek at them around the 5-minute mark — they firm up fast!

6. Season & Serve 🍽️

Carefully lift the eggs out with a silicone spatula or spoon.
Top with salt, pepper, or a sprinkle of herbs, and serve them:

• On toast 🥖

• Over avocado 🥑

• With bacon or veggies 🥓🥦

• Or as a topping for a breakfast bowl or ramen 🍜

💡 Tips & Variations:

• Want picture-perfect shape? Use silicone muffin liners or mini ramekins.

• Try a splash of water under parchment paper for a steam effect and silkier eggs.

• Love spice? Add a pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika after cooking. 🌶️
