Once you make Air Fryer Poached Eggs, you'll never want to make your eggs any other way. This is the best way to make a perfect poached egg every single time. Grab an English muffin to pair with this simple breakfast recipe!
I know I've said it time and time again, but the air fryer is really one of the most beloved kitchen appliances. In just a couple of minutes, you'll have a perfectly poached egg that will make everyone want more! You will need a small ramekin like these three inch ramekins, to make this recipe, so plan ahead and have all your supplies before getting started.

I make this recipe in my Cosori Air Fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.
Common Questions
Yes, typically, the egg whites are fully cooked (which is important), and the egg yolks are runny. This can, of course, vary depending on the cooking time, but for the best results, this is typically how the most idyllic poached eggs are made.
This is a typical brunch staple! If you want to serve it for lunch or dinner, just add some hand-cut fries or a roasted vegetable medley, and you've got quick and yummy meal. I love to make this for the morning rush so that everyone gets some protein and healthy food in their tummy before running out the door.
I like to use extra large eggs for breakfast eggs so that we all get a good amount of protein and flavor. You'll have no trouble making this dish as long as you follow the step-by-step recipe!
The end result will be eggs-cellent! (see what I did there?!)

Notes
Variations
Change how you use the egg - While you can eat this perfect recipe right out of the ramekin, you can also use it to pair with other foods as well. If you make the egg sunny side up, it's so good to put on top of crispy vegetables or even a mound of homemade sweet potato hash. You can make this part of a healthy breakfast, or it can be a great option for lunch or dinner, too. Don't forget that avocado toast is super popular and an easy hack for making a super trendy dish. Add toppings - If you want to take this egg mixture and change it up, you can add a few toppings! A creamy hollandaise sauce is a great idea, or you can add some salt and pepper to the oozy yolk. This egg recipe is really versatile in how you want to eat, and serve it, and that makes it one of the best food hacks out there.Nutrition

Have been trying to make AF poached eggs for some days now
Each time the white detaches from the yolk, is not firm at all and forms small uncooked clumps in the ramekin
Any idea where I am going wrong plse?
Are you adding the three tablespoons of water? I also preheat the air fryer too. It might look uncooked, but use a spoon to gently lift it out of the ramekin. Hope that helps!
