Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 5-6 minutes
Total Time: 10-11 minutes
Recipe Yield: 1-2 servings
Difficulty Level: Easy
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar (optional, for better egg whites)
- Cooking spray or butter (to grease the ramekins)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Prepare the Ramekins:
- Lightly grease 2 small ramekins or oven-safe bowls with cooking spray or a little butter to prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Crack the Eggs:
- Crack each egg into its own greased ramekin. If desired, add 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar to each ramekin. The vinegar helps the egg whites to set better, but it’s optional.
- Add Water:
- Pour about 1 tablespoon of water over each egg. This will create steam, which helps cook the eggs evenly in the air fryer.
- Cook the Eggs:
- Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket. Air fry the eggs at 350°F (175°C) for 5-6 minutes.
- For soft poached eggs, cook for 5 minutes; for firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Check and Serve:
- Carefully remove the ramekins from the air fryer using oven mitts. The ramekins will be hot.
- Gently slide a butter knife around the edges of the poached eggs to loosen them, then carefully lift the eggs out with a spoon.
- Season and Enjoy:
- Season the poached eggs with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
