AIR FRYER POACHED EGGS

1. Preheat your air fryer: Set the air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and preheat for 3-5 minutes.
2. Prepare the poaching tray: Lightly coat the wells of an egg poaching tray or silicone muffin cups with oil spray to prevent sticking.
3. Crack the eggs: Crack one egg into each well of the poaching tray or muffin cup.
4. Season: Season each egg with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Add water: Carefully pour 3 tablespoons of hot water over each egg, ensuring it covers the egg whites but doesn’t overflow.
6. Air fry: Place the poaching tray or muffin cups into the preheated air fryer basket.
7. Cook: Air fry the eggs at 300°F (150°C) for 6-8 minutes, adjusting for desired doneness.
8. Remove: Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the poached eggs from the air fryer using tongs or a spatula.
9. Serve: Serve the poached eggs immediately on their own or atop a slice of toast for a delightful breakfast or brunch option.

Cook Notes and Variations:

• Enhance flavor: Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill over the poached eggs before serving.
• Customize seasoning: Experiment with garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika for personalized flavor.
• Adjust yolk firmness: Increase cooking time by 1-2 minutes for a firmer yolk.
• Handle with care: Use caution when handling the hot poaching tray or muffin cups to avoid burns.
