Ingredients.
- Two large eggs.
- Oil spray or ghee butter.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- Six Tablespoons hot water.
Instructions.
To prepare poached eggs in the air-fryer, crack an egg into a greased, air-fryer-safe dish filled with hot water. Ramekins are perfect for this. Cook at 350F (177C) for five to seven minutes, depending on how runny you prefer your yolk.
After cooking, carefully remove the ramekins from the air fryer. Use a rubber spatula or spoon to gently release the eggs from the ramekins. If the eggs stick, run a knife around the edge. Transfer the eggs to a plate, season with salt and pepper, and enjoy on toast or alongside your favourite breakfast dish.
