5-Minute Air Fryer Poached Eggs: Ditch the Boiling Water!

Tired of the hassle of poaching eggs in a pot of boiling water? There’s a faster, easier, and cleaner way to achieve perfectly cooked poached eggs – using your air fryer! This revolutionary method transforms the way you prepare this classic breakfast dish, leaving you with delicious, evenly cooked eggs in just 5 minutes.

Here’s how to make air fryer poached eggs:

Ingredients:

* Two large eggs
* Oil spray or ghee butter
* Salt and pepper to taste
* Six tablespoons of hot water

Instructions:

1.

Grease and Fill:

Grease a small, air fryer-safe dish, like a ramekin, with oil spray or ghee butter. Add six tablespoons of hot water to the dish.
2.

Crack and Cook:

Carefully crack an egg into the prepared dish. Place the dish in the air fryer and cook at 350°F (177°C) for five to seven minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk.
3.

Release and Serve:

After cooking, gently remove the ramekin from the air fryer. Use a rubber spatula or spoon to gently release the egg from the ramekin. If it sticks, run a knife around the edge. Transfer the poached egg to a plate, season with salt and pepper, and enjoy on toast, a salad, or your favorite breakfast dish.

This air fryer method ensures your eggs cook evenly and retain their shape, avoiding any wispy bits. The hot water creates a steamy environment that helps the egg whites set properly while keeping the yolks perfectly runny if desired.

So ditch the boiling water and embrace the ease and deliciousness of air fryer poached eggs! You’ll wonder why you didn’t try this method sooner.
