#### **Step 4: Air Fry the Eggs**
Carefully place the ramekin with the eggs into the preheated air fryer basket. Air fry the eggs at 370°F (188°C) for about 6 to 8 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you prefer your yolks.
– **For runny yolks**: Air fry for 6 minutes.
– **For slightly firmer yolks**: Air fry for 7 minutes.
– **For fully cooked yolks**: Air fry for 8 minutes.
Since air fryer models can vary, you might need to adjust the cooking time slightly. It’s always a good idea to check your eggs after a few minutes to ensure they’re cooking to your desired consistency.
#### **Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!**
Once the eggs are cooked to perfection, carefully remove the ramekin from the air fryer. Use a spoon to gently lift the eggs from the dish, and serve them on toast, a salad, or alongside your favorite breakfast items.
If you want to go the extra mile, you can sprinkle some freshly chopped herbs (like parsley or chives) on top for added flavor, or drizzle a little hollandaise sauce if you’re feeling fancy.
### **Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Poached Eggs:**
– **Use a ramekin or dish that fits your air fryer**: If your dish is too large, it might not cook evenly. Make sure the ramekin fits comfortably in your air fryer basket.
– **Adjust cooking time based on preference**: If you like your poached eggs with very runny yolks, start with 6 minutes. For firmer yolks, go for 7 to 8 minutes.
– **Check eggs early**: Since every air fryer is slightly different, it’s a good idea to check the eggs after about 5 minutes to make sure you’re on track to achieving the texture you want.
– **Try cooking multiple eggs**: If you want to cook more than one egg, just make sure to use a larger ramekin or individual dishes for each egg. You can cook multiple eggs at once, but ensure they have enough space to cook evenly.
– **Add flavor**: A poached egg is a versatile dish that pairs well with so many things. Try topping your eggs with avocado, smoked salmon, or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
