Calories: 63kcal
Ingredients
- 4 fresh eggs
- cooking spray
- 1 cup water ¼ cup water per ramekin
Instructions
- Spray each ramekin with a bit of avocado spray. Place them into an air fryer basket.
- Fill each ramekin with three tablespoons of water.
- Secure the air fryer with the lid and preheat at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
- Crack one egg into each ramekin, close the lid and cook for 5 minutes at 360 degrees.
- Carefully remove the ramekins from your air fryer. Pour out the water on the top of the eggs.
- Use a small rubber spatula to release the poached egg from the ramekins. Go around the outer edge and underneath the egg to remove it.
Notes
- Fresh egg yolks hold their shape, giving you that classic poached egg look. Older egg yolks have a flatter shape.
- Safety first. Use a kitchen towel or tongs to remove the HOT ramekins from the air fryer.
- How do I release the egg from the ramekin? Grab a small silicone spatula and run it around the edge and under the egg to release it.
- Crack eggs on a flat surface. Nobody likes eggshells inside their poached eggs.
