Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 2-3 minutes. This will ensure that the air fryer is hot and ready to cook the eggs evenly.
Step 2: Prepare the Eggs
Crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin, taking care not to break the yolk.
Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent the eggs from sticking.
Step 3: Poach the Eggs
Carefully slide each egg from the bowl into the greased air fryer basket, ensuring that they are spaced apart to allow for even cooking.
Season the eggs with salt and pepper, if desired.
Step 4: Cook the Eggs
Place the air fryer basket with the eggs into the preheated air fryer.
Cook the eggs at 320°F (160°C) for 6-8 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. For a runny yolk, cook for 6 minutes, or for a firmer yolk, cook for 8 minutes.
Monitor the eggs closely during the cooking process to prevent overcooking.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Carefully remove the eggs from the air fryer basket using a spatula.
Transfer the poached eggs to a plate or serving dish.
Garnish the poached eggs with chopped fresh herbs, shredded cheese, or avocado slices, if desired.
Serve the air fryer poached eggs immediately, while still warm, and enjoy the creamy yolks and tender whites.
