If you enjoy poached eggs but dislike the stovetop hassle, the air fryer offers a simple and mess-free solution. No boiling water, no swirling technique, and no constant monitoring required. With just a small amount of hot water and a lightly greased ramekin, the air fryer creates gentle, even heat that delivers tender whites and creamy yolks every time. It’s a quick, reliable way to prepare a protein-packed breakfast with minimal cleanup.
To make them, preheat your air fryer to 350°F (177°C), lightly oil two ramekins, and add a few tablespoons of hot water to each. Crack an egg into each ramekin and cook for about 5–7 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you prefer your yolk. Once done, carefully lift the eggs out and serve over toast or on their own with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Easy, healthy, and consistently delicious, this method makes perfect poached eggs effortless.
