## Step-by-Step Instructions
### 1. Preheat Your Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to **270°F (130°C)** and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes.
### 2. Prepare the Eggs
Lightly grease small ramekins or silicone egg poacher cups with non-stick spray or a bit of butter. Crack one egg into each ramekin. Add about 1 tablespoon of water to each ramekin to help keep the egg moist.
### 3. Air Fry the Eggs
Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket. Cook for **8-10 minutes**, depending on how runny you want your yolks. Around 8 minutes yields soft, runny yolks, while 10 minutes cooks them more firmly.
### 4. Remove and Serve
Carefully take out the ramekins using tongs or oven mitts. Use a spoon to gently lift out the poached egg. Season with salt, pepper, or your favorite toppings like chives, avocado, or smoked salmon.
