1 large egg

Cooking spray or a little oil

Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the air fryer
-
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes.
2. Prepare the ramekin
-
Lightly grease the ramekin or silicone cup with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.

Optional: season lightly with salt and pepper.
4. Air fry

Place the ramekin in the air fryer basket.
-
Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 7–10 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk:
-
7–8 minutes for a soft, runny yolk
-
9–10 minutes for a firmer yolk
-
5. Serve
-
Carefully remove the ramekin (it will be hot).
-
Use a spoon to gently lift the poached egg onto toast, salad, or a bowl.
-
Season with additional salt, pepper, or herbs if desired.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Poached Eggs
