Poached eggs are a breakfast staple, known for their silky yolks and delicate whites. While traditionally made on the stovetop, using the air fryer for poached eggs yields consistent results every time. This Air Fryer Poached Eggs recipe will guide you through the process of creating the perfect poached eggs effortlessly. Whether you enjoy them on their own or atop a slice of toast, these eggs are sure to elevate your breakfast game.
Ingredients:
2 large eggs
Oil spray (Ghee Butter preferred)
Salt and pepper to taste
6 tablespoons hot water
Toast (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for 3-5 minutes.
Lightly coat the wells of an egg poaching tray or silicone muffin cups with oil spray to prevent sticking.
Crack one egg into each well of the poaching tray or muffin cup.
Season each egg with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
Carefully pour 3 tablespoons of hot water over each egg, ensuring that the water covers the egg whites but doesn’t overflow.
Place the poaching tray or muffin cups into the preheated air fryer basket.
Cook the eggs in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 6-8 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. For softer yolks, aim for the lower end of the cooking time range.
Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the poached eggs from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula.
Serve the poached eggs immediately on their own or atop a slice of toast for a delicious breakfast or brunch option.
