Ingredients:
- Eggs (as many as desired)
- Cooking spray or oil (optional, for greasing)
Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 325°F (163°C) for about 2 minutes.
- Prepare Eggs:
- Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin, ensuring that the yolks remain intact.
- Grease Air Fryer Basket (Optional):
- If desired, lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Poach Eggs in Air Fryer:
- Carefully slide the cracked eggs into the preheated air fryer basket, ensuring they are spaced apart.
- Air fry the eggs at 325°F (163°C) for 6 minutes for a runny yolk or slightly longer for a firmer yolk, depending on your preference.
- Check Doneness:
- Check the eggs towards the end of the cooking time to achieve the desired level of doneness.
- For runny yolks, the whites should be set, and the yolks should still be soft and runny.
- For firmer yolks, the whites and yolks will be more set.
- Serve: Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the poached eggs from the air fryer basket using a slotted spoon.
- Season and Enjoy:
- Season the poached eggs with salt and pepper or your favorite herbs and spices, if desired.
- Serve the air-fried poached eggs immediately while they are warm and enjoy them on their own, on toast, or as part of a breakfast dish.
Tips:
- Adjust the cooking time slightly based on the size of your eggs and your preferred level of yolk doneness.
- You can experiment with different temperatures and cooking times to achieve the perfect poached egg consistency for your taste.
Air fryer poached eggs are a quick and easy way to enjoy perfectly cooked eggs without the need for boiling water or using a stovetop. Enjoy your delicious and fluffy poached eggs!
