Give your ramekin a light spray of oil to prevent the egg from sticking.
Pour 3 tablespoons of hot water into each ramekin.
Gently crack an egg into each ramekin.
Preheat the Air Fryer – Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and let it warm up for a minute.
Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket and cook for 5–6 minutes for a runny yolk or 7–8 minutes for a slightly firmer center. The timings will depend on your preferred level of ‘doneness’ but once you’ve discovered the perfect timing, you’ll be able to whip up poached eggs to your liking, every time!
Carefully lift the ramekins out (they’ll be hot so use oven mitts or silicone tongs to lift them out) and use a spoon to scoop out the egg. If they seem slightly stuck, just use a butter knife to gently prise the egg away from the edge.

Note: Nutritional values are approximate and for guidance only.

Remember to rub or spray the ramekin with oil to prevent sticking.
If the eggs stick to the ramekin, run a blunt knife around the edge before lifting them out.

Don't worry if there's a little oil or water above the egg when you lift the ramekin out of the air fryer - you can just lift the egg out and the water/oil will remain behind.

If your eggs aren’t quite done to your liking, give them another 30-second blast.

After lifting the eggs out of the ramekin, let them sit on a piece of kitchen paper for a few seconds to absorb any water.
