Ingredients:
- Eggs (as many as you want to poach)
- Cooking spray or oil (optional, for greasing)
Instructions:
- Preheat Your Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). Different air fryer models may vary, so adjust according to your specific model if needed.
- Prepare the Eggs:
- Break each egg into a small bowl or ramekin. This helps ensure the egg stays intact and makes it easier to slide into the air fryer basket.
- Grease the Air Fryer Basket (Optional):
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a small amount of oil. This can help prevent the eggs from sticking.
- Poach the Eggs:
- Carefully slide each egg from the bowl into the air fryer basket, making sure they are spaced apart to allow even cooking.
- Place the basket into the preheated air fryer.
- Cook the Eggs:
- Cook the eggs in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for about 6-8 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you like your poached eggs. Adjust the cooking time based on your preference and the specific characteristics of your air fryer.
- Check for Doneness:
- Carefully remove the eggs from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Check if the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. If they need more time, you can return them to the air fryer for an additional minute or two.
- Serve:
- Serve the poached eggs immediately while they are warm. You can season them with salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs and enjoy them on toast, salads, or any other dish.
Tips:
- Experiment with the cooking time to achieve your preferred level of doneness.
- If you prefer a softer yolk, reduce the cooking time slightly.
- Make sure your air fryer basket is not overcrowded to ensure even cooking of each egg.
