Crack the egg gently into the water (keep the yolk intact).
Carefully place the ramekin into the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 6–8 minutes:
6 min → runny yolk
7 min → jammy
8 min → fully set
Remove carefully (it’s hot!), lift egg out with a slotted spoon.
Season and serve immediately.

Chef’s Notes
The water creates steam, mimicking classic poaching.
Whites firm up beautifully without vinegar.
Results may vary slightly depending on air fryer model.
Pro Tips
Use fresh eggs for tighter whites.
Don’t overfill the ramekin — shallow water works best.
For toast: drain egg briefly on paper towel before plating.
Making multiples? Cook each egg in its own ramekin.
