Poached eggs are a breakfast favorite, but many people avoid making them because the traditional stovetop method can be tricky. Between simmering water, adding vinegar, and carefully swirling the eggs, it often feels like too much work for a simple meal.
The good news? Your air fryer can make beautifully poached eggs with almost no effort. Using small ramekins filled with water, you’ll get tender egg whites and delicious runny yolks—without standing over the stove.
