Poaching eggs can often feel like a delicate art, but with the advent of the air fryer, this classic breakfast dish becomes remarkably simple. Air fryer poached eggs offer a hassle-free way to achieve that perfectly runny yolk without the fuss of boiling water or managing swirling currents.

To start, you’ll need a few essentials: fresh eggs, a dash of vinegar, and a ramekin. Preheat your air fryer to around 160°C. Crack the eggs into the ramekin, adding a splash of vinegar to help them maintain their shape. Carefully place the ramekin in the air fryer basket and set the timer for about 8–10 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk.

As the gentle heat circulates, you'll find that the eggs cook evenly, resulting in a beautifully poached finish that’s ready to elevate any dish. Once they’re done, simply lift the ramekin out, and with a little care, slide the eggs onto your toast or salad. Enjoy the satisfying satisfaction of perfectly poached eggs without the usual mess. Ideal for a leisurely brunch, air fryer poached eggs bring a touch of elegance to your breakfast table with minimal effort.
