Air Fryer Poached Eggs: A Game-Changer in the Kitchen

• 5 minutes: Runny yolk, soft white

• 6 minutes: Slightly firmer yolk

• 7 minutes: Firmer yolk, fully set white

(Note: Air fryer times may vary by model, so you may need to experiment to find your perfect timing.)

Carefully take the ramekins out of the air fryer — they’ll be hot! Use a spoon to gently lift the poached egg out of the ramekin, draining any extra water. Serve immediately on toast, avocado, salad, or however you like.

• Use hot water: This speeds up cooking and helps the whites set properly.

• Don’t overcrowd: Leave space between ramekins in the basket for even air circulation.

• Test with one egg first: Especially if it’s your first time, test with one egg to dial in the timing for your preferred yolk consistency.

• Flavor it up: Add a pinch of salt, pepper, or even a dash of chili flakes or herbs after cooking for extra flavor.

Air fryer poached eggs are truly a game changer — easy, fast, and mess-free. Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent on the go, or just someone who loves a good poached egg, this method saves time and delivers consistent results every time. Try it once, and you might never go back to the stovetop method again.
