Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 2-3 minutes. This will ensure that the air fryer is hot and ready to cook the eggs evenly.
Step 2: Prepare the Eggs
- Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin, taking care not to break the yolk.
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent the eggs from sticking.
Step 3: Poach the Eggs
- Carefully slide each egg from the bowl into the greased air fryer basket, ensuring that they are spaced apart to allow for even cooking.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper, if desired.
Step 4: Cook the Eggs
- Place the air fryer basket with the eggs into the preheated air fryer.
- Cook the eggs at 320°F (160°C) for 6-8 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. For a runny yolk, cook for 6 minutes, or for a firmer yolk, cook for 8 minutes.
- Monitor the eggs closely during the cooking process to prevent overcooking.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Carefully remove the eggs from the air fryer basket using a spatula.
- Transfer the poached eggs to a plate or serving dish.
- Garnish the poached eggs with chopped fresh herbs, shredded cheese, or avocado slices, if desired.
- Serve the air fryer poached eggs immediately, while still warm, and enjoy the creamy yolks and tender whites.
