Ingredients

Scale

Poached Egg

  • 1 egg, fresh; cold or room temperature
  • 2 tbsp water per ramekin
  • Cooking spray or oil to grease ramekin
  • Salt & pepper to taste, for serving

Optional Toppings

  • Everything bagel seasoning (optional)
  • Chili flakes (optional)
  • Chopped parsley or chives (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ramekin: Lightly grease a ramekin with cooking spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Add Water: Pour 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of water into the ramekin; this helps create steam for poaching the egg.
  3. Crack Egg: Carefully crack one egg into the ramekin, ensuring not to stir or break the yolk.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes for even cooking.
  5. Air Fry: Place the ramekin into the air fryer basket carefully. Air fry for 6 to 8 minutes depending on your preferred yolk doneness: 6 minutes for runny yolk, 7 minutes for slightly set yolk, and 8 minutes for jammy yolk.
  6. Remove Egg: Using tongs or oven mitts, carefully remove the hot ramekin from the air fryer.
  7. Serve: Gently scoop the poached egg out with a spoon, drain any excess water, and season with salt, pepper, or optional toppings before serving.

Notes

  • Store cooled poached eggs in the fridge in an airtight container lined with a damp paper towel for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat leftover poached eggs by placing them in warm water for 30–60 seconds; avoid microwaving to maintain texture.
  • Adjust air frying time based on your air fryer model and egg size for optimal results.
  • Use fresh eggs at cold or room temperature for best poaching outcome.
