Ingredients
4 servings
Instructions
- Fill a saucepan with at least 4 inches of water. Add white vinegar and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
- Stir the simmering water to create a gentle whirlpool.
- Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the center of the whirlpool.
- Cook for 3 minutes for a runny yolk.
- Lift the poached egg from the water with a slotted spoon, draining any excess water.
- Repeat for the remaining eggs.
- Lightly grease a small ramekin or heat safe dish with non stick cooking spray.
- Add 2 tbsp water to each cup.
- Preheat the Air fryer (with the cups of water in it) to 400 F/ 200°c for 5 minutes
- Carefully open the air fryer so the water doesn’t spill out of the cups.
- Crack one egg into each cup. The egg white may begin to cook as you do this due to the hot water.
- Cook at 360 F/190°c for 6.30min
- Use a spoon to gently lift it out of the cup onto your plate or onto a piece of toast.
