Directions:

• Heat 1 cup water in microwave for about 2 minutes till it is really hot. We need about a cup of water depending upon how many eggs you are planning to cook at one go.
• Take silicone molds and spray or brush them with oil. Place 3 silicone molds or as many will fit in your air fryer.
• Preheat air fryer at 390F or 200C for 5 minutes.
• Take out the basket. The molds are hot so leave them in the air fryer basket. Now break an egg directly in the mold.
• Keep hot water ready. Pour 3-4 tbsp. of hot water over the egg. You will see some of it starting to cook the egg white right away.
• Repeat for the other molds. Now place the air fryer basket back in the air fryer.
• Air fry at 360F or 180C for about 3-4 minutes. Mine were done to perfection at 4 minutes.
• Keep an eye on the eggs after 3 minutes air frying time.
• The yolk was runny and the white was perfectly done.
• If you like your poached eggs to have cooked yolks then cook for a minute or 2 longer.
• These are for medium room temperature eggs. For eggs from the fridge, add 30 seconds or 1 minute more.
• Same will apply to large eggs.
• Take out your poached eggs with a spatula. They come out easily. Top with salt and pepper and enjoy.
• Take ramekins and gently spray them on the bottom with oil. Place 4 ramekins or as many will fit in your air fryer and preheat air fryer at 390F or 200C for 5 minutes.
• Be very careful while handling the ramekins now. I put in the cracked egg in the ramekin while it is still in the air fryer basket.
• Then add 2-3 tbsp. of hot water on top of each cracked egg.
• You will see that the white of the egg starts coagulating right away.
• Carefully, place the air fryer basket back in.
• Air fry at 180C or 360F for 4-5 minutes till the whites are set and the yolks stay runny.
• If you like slightly cooked yolks, you can air fry for a minute more.
• Again, depending upon your air fryer, your time may vary slightly.
• Keep an eye on the air frying time after 4 minutes.
• While taking out the ramekin, be very careful as they will be hot.
• Handle using gloves. Use spatula to gently dislodge the egg if it feels stuck to the base.
• Take it out and plate it. Sprinkle salt and pepper along with some finely chopped parsley. Enjoy.
• I could make a batch of 4 poached eggs at one go in my air fryer.
