### How to Make Air Fryer Poached Eggs

**Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer**
Set your air fryer to **360°F (182°C)** and let it heat for 2–3 minutes.

**Step 2: Prep the Ramekins**
Lightly grease the inside of each ramekin with oil or non-stick spray.
Add about **2–3 tablespoons of water** into each one.

**Step 3: Crack the Eggs**
Carefully crack one egg into each ramekin, directly into the water.

**Step 4: Air Fry**
Place the ramekins into the air fryer basket carefully.
Cook at **360°F for 6–8 minutes**, depending on your air fryer and how soft you like the yolks.

* 6 minutes = soft and runny yolk
* 7–8 minutes = firmer whites and slightly set yolk

**Step 5: Serve**
Gently lift the poached egg out with a spoon or small spatula.
Serve on toast, in a breakfast bowl, or on top of avocado toast or salad.

### Tips for Success

* **Use fresh eggs** — they hold their shape better when poached.
* **Experiment with timing** — every air fryer is slightly different. Try one egg first to find your perfect cook time.
* **Don’t skip the water** — it’s what creates the steaming effect to cook the egg gently.
