Poached eggs are one of those deceptively simple dishes. Delicate, silky whites with a golden, runny yolk—perfect atop toast, salads, or nestled into a bowl of creamy grits. Traditionally, they require a pot of simmering water, a gentle hand, and sometimes a dash of vinegar to get them just right. But what if we told you there’s an easier, mess-free way to get perfect poached eggs every time—using your air fryer?
