The Ultimate Air Fryer Poached Egg Recipe

Lightly grease small, oven-safe ramekins or silicone cups with oil or nonstick spray.

Fill each cup with about ¼ cup water. Add a few drops of vinegar if using.

Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 270°F (130°C) for 3 minutes.

Step 3: Add the Eggs

Crack one egg into each prepared cup, ensuring the yolk stays intact.

Step 4: Cook

Place the cups in the air fryer basket.

Air fry at 270°F (130°C) for 6–8 minutes, depending on your desired yolk consistency:

6 minutes: very soft, runny yolk

7–8 minutes: slightly firmer yolk, fully set whites

Step 5: Serve
