Air Fryer Poached Eggs

Air Fryer Poached Eggs

Ingredients:

  • Eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste (optional)
  • Fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
    • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Prepare the Eggs:
    • Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin, being careful not to break the yolk.
  3. Spray or Grease the Air Fryer Basket:
    • Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a small amount of oil to prevent the eggs from sticking.
  4. Place the Eggs in the Air Fryer:
    • Carefully transfer the eggs from the bowls to the air fryer basket. Make sure to leave enough space between each egg to allow for even cooking.
  5. Season the Eggs (Optional):
    • Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over each egg, according to your taste preferences.
  6. Air Fry the Eggs:
    • Place the air fryer basket in the preheated air fryer and cook the eggs for about 5-7 minutes. Cooking time may vary depending on your specific air fryer model, so keep an eye on them.
  7. Check for Doneness:
    • Check the eggs after a few minutes to ensure they are cooked to your liking. The whites should be set, and the yolks can be as runny or firm as you prefer.
  8. Serve:
    • Once the eggs are done, carefully remove them from the air fryer basket using a spatula.
  9. Garnish (Optional):
    • Garnish the poached eggs with fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, for added flavor and presentation.
  10. Enjoy:
    • Serve the air fryer poached eggs immediately, and enjoy them on their own, with toast, or alongside your favorite breakfast sides.
