Print Recipe

These Air Fryer Poached Eggs are an easy, foolproof way to enjoy perfectly poached eggs without boiling water or swirling a pot. With just a few ingredients and ramekins, you’ll have tender whites and beautifully runny yolks in about 10 minutes—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or topping toast and salads.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large eggs

  • Cooking spray

  • 6 tablespoons water (3 tablespoons per ramekin)

  • Salt, to taste

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • Chives, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Ramekins
    Lightly spray two ramekins with cooking spray. Add 3 tablespoons of water to each ramekin.

  • Preheat the Water
    Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F (200°C) for 7 minutes.

  • Add the Eggs
    Carefully crack one egg into each ramekin. Return them to the air fryer.

  • Poach the Eggs
    Cook at 360°F (182°C) for 4–5 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolks.

  • Remove & Serve
    Carefully remove the ramekins using tongs or a potholder.
    Run a silicone spatula around the edge to loosen the eggs, then lift them out and place on paper towels to drain. Season with salt, pepper, and chives if desired.

Notes

  • Fresh eggs work best and hold their shape better.

  • Adjust cook time based on your air fryer model—every air fryer cooks slightly differently.

  • For smaller (4 oz) ramekins, use 2 tablespoons of water instead of 3.

  • Let eggs rest on paper towels for 2–3 minutes to remove excess moisture.

  • Handle gently to avoid breaking the yolk.
