Cook for 4 to 6 minutes. The exact time will depend on the size of the egg and the model of the air fryer.
For a very runny yolk, check at the 4-minute mark. For a slightly firmer yolk, cook for up to 6 minutes.
Using oven mitts, carefully remove the hot ramekin from the air fryer.
Season the cooked egg with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
FAQ
Can I cook multiple eggs at once?
Yes, you can cook multiple eggs simultaneously by using multiple ramekins that fit comfortably in your air fryer basket without touching.
Why is water added to the ramekin?
The water creates a steamy environment within the ramekin, which helps to cook the top of the egg white evenly without overcooking the yolk.
My egg yolk is not runny. What happened?
The yolk has likely been overcooked. Reduce the cooking time by 30-second to 1-minute increments in subsequent attempts to achieve the desired consistency.
You Must Know
Cooking times can vary significantly between different air fryer models, wattages, and sizes. It is crucial to perform a test run with one egg to determine the ideal cooking time for your specific appliance. The ramekin will be extremely hot when removed from the air fryer; always use proper protection for your hands.
Storage Tips
Poached eggs are best consumed immediately after cooking. They are not suitable for storage or reheating, as the texture of the white and yolk will become rubbery and undesirable.
