  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 fresh eggs
  • Cooking spray (such as avocado spray)
  • 1 cup water (¼ cup water per ramekin)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ramekins: Spray each ramekin lightly with avocado cooking spray to prevent the eggs from sticking.
  2. Fill with Water: Pour three tablespoons of water into each prepared ramekin to create an ideal environment for poaching.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Place the ramekins into the air fryer basket and preheat the air fryer at 400°F (204°C) for 5 minutes.
  4. Add the Eggs: Crack one egg into each ramekin carefully, ensuring the yolk remains intact.
  5. Cook the Eggs: Close the air fryer lid and cook the eggs at 360°F (182°C) for 5 minutes until the whites are set and yolks are tender.
  6. Remove and Drain: Carefully take the ramekins out of the air fryer. Pour out the water sitting atop the eggs to avoid excess moisture.
  7. Release the Eggs: Use a small rubber spatula to gently go around the edges and underneath each egg to loosen and remove the perfectly poached eggs from the ramekins.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary slightly depending on air fryer model and egg size.
  • Use fresh eggs for the best poached egg shape and texture.
  • Cooking spray helps prevent eggs from sticking to ramekins for easy removal.
  • Serve immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
