This air-fryer method is a game-changer, allowing you to prepare delicious poached eggs with minimal fuss and clean-up.

This method ensures that your eggs cook evenly and maintain their shape without any wispy bits.

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. You can use ramekins for this.

Cook at 350°F (177°C) for five to seven minutes, depending on how runny you like 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.
