AIR FRYER POACHED EGGS

by

1. Prepare the Ramekins or Molds

  1. Oil the Molds: Lightly grease each ramekin or silicone mold with non-stick cooking spray or a brush of olive oil. This step ensures the eggs will release easily once cooked.

2. Preheat the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating helps ensure even cooking of the eggs.

3. Crack and Place the Eggs

  1. Crack the Eggs: Crack one egg into each prepared ramekin or silicone mold. Be careful not to break the yolk.
  2. Season (Optional): Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.

4. Air Fry the Eggs

  1. Cook: Place the ramekins or molds in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 320°F (160°C) for 8-10 minutes. Check at the 8-minute mark to see if the whites are set and the yolks are to your desired level of doneness. The whites should be firm but the yolk should remain runny.
  2. Adjust Time: If you prefer your yolks a bit firmer, add a minute or two to the cooking time.

5. Remove and Serve

  1. Carefully Remove: Use tongs or a spatula to carefully remove the ramekins or molds from the air fryer. Let the eggs cool for a minute or two.
  2. Release the Eggs: Gently run a small spoon around the edge of the ramekin or mold to loosen the egg. Carefully transfer the poached eggs to a plate.
  3. Serve: Serve the eggs immediately. They’re great on toast, in salads, or as part of a hearty breakfast.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Poached Eggs

  • Use Fresh Eggs: Fresh eggs hold their shape better and provide a better result with poaching.
  • Check for Doneness: Since air fryers can vary in temperature, start checking a minute or two before the suggested cooking time.
  • Avoid Overcrowding: Ensure the ramekins or molds are spaced out to allow proper air circulation for even cooking.

Variations

  • Herbed Eggs: Sprinkle a bit of chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley on top of the eggs before air frying for added flavor.
  • Cheesy Eggs: Top the eggs with a small amount of grated cheese in the last minute of cooking for a cheesy twist.

Enjoy your perfectly poached eggs made effortlessly in the air fryer, perfect for a quick and delicious meal!
