AIR FRYER POACHED EGGS

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.
