Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by lightly greasing a ramekin with cooking spray or neutral oil and add 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of water.
Gently crack one fresh egg into the greased ramekin, keeping the yolk intact.
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
Carefully place the ramekin into the air fryer basket and air fry for 6 to 8 minutes based on your desired yolk consistency.
Once the timer goes off, use tongs to carefully remove the ramekin from the air fryer and let it cool slightly.
Season your Air Fryer Poached Eggs with salt, pepper, and any optional toppings before serving.
