Place the ramekins into the air fryer basket. Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 5–6 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolks.
- 5 minutes = soft and runny center
- 6 minutes = slightly firmer but still jammy
Carefully remove the ramekins (they’ll be hot!). Use a spoon to gently lift the egg out. Season with salt, pepper, or your favorite herbs.
🧂 Serving Ideas:
- On toasted sourdough with smashed avocado
- With smoked salmon and cream cheese
- Over sautéed spinach for a healthy low-carb breakfast
- Topped on a bowl of ramen or salad for added protein
💡 Tips for Success
- Use fresh eggs: Fresher eggs hold their shape better when poaching.
- Don’t skip the water: It helps steam and cook the egg gently inside the ramekin.
- Customize timing: Every air fryer is slightly different. Test once and adjust the time for your perfect poach.
- Batch cooking? Most air fryers can hold up to 4 ramekins depending on size.
🥄 Final Thoughts
Air fryer poached eggs are not only simple and foolproof — they’re also incredibly versatile. Whether you’re making a quick weekday breakfast or impressing brunch guests, this method delivers perfect results every time. Once you try it, you may never go back to stovetop poaching again.
