### How to Make Ultimate Air Fryer Poached Eggs
#### 1. **Prepare the Air Fryer**
Preheat your air fryer to 270°F (130°C). Lightly grease the silicone muffin cups or ramekins to prevent sticking.
#### 2. **Add Eggs and Water**
Crack one egg into each muffin cup or ramekin. Add about 1 tablespoon of water on top of the egg — this helps steam and cook the egg evenly.
#### 3. **Air Fry**
Place the cups in the air fryer basket and cook for 7-9 minutes depending on your preferred yolk consistency (7 minutes for runny yolks, 9 for slightly firmer).
#### 4. **Remove and Serve**
Carefully take out the cups, gently run a knife around the edge, and slide the poached egg onto your dish. Season with salt, pepper, or your favorite toppings.
