Description

Discover the secret to perfectly poached eggs using your air fryer, a simple and time-efficient method that yields rich, creamy results.


Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon of vinegar (white or apple cider)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Freshly cracked pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh herbs (optional, such as parsley or chives for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 270°F (130°C).
  2. Prepare a small ramekin or silicone egg cup with about 1 tablespoon of water and crack an egg into the cup. Repeat for the remaining eggs.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar to each egg cup.
  4. Air fry the eggs in the basket for 8-10 minutes for runny yolks or 10-12 minutes for firmer yolks.
  5. Check one egg for doneness—whites should be set, yolks should jiggle.
  6. Plate and serve the poached eggs on toast, seasoning with salt, pepper, and fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For best results, use fresh eggs and manage water carefully in ramekins.
