Instructions:
- Preheating the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for 3-5 minutes. This ensures that your eggs cook evenly and thoroughly.
- Preparing the Poaching Tray
- Lightly coat the wells of an egg poaching tray or silicone muffin cups with oil spray to prevent sticking. This step is crucial for achieving beautifully intact poached eggs.
- Cracking the Eggs
- Carefully crack one egg into each well of the poaching tray or muffin cup. Take care not to break the yolks during this process.
- Seasoning
- Season each egg with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. This adds depth of flavor to your poached eggs.
- Adding Hot Water
- Carefully pour 3 tablespoons of hot water over each egg, ensuring that the water covers the egg whites but doesn’t overflow. The hot water helps cook the eggs gently and evenly.
- Cooking
- Place the poaching tray or muffin cups into the preheated air fryer basket. Cook the eggs at 300°F (150°C) for 6-8 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. For softer yolks, aim for the lower end of the cooking time range.
- Serve
- Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the poached eggs from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula. Serve them immediately on their own or atop a slice of toast for a delicious breakfast or brunch option.
