Poached eggs are famously tricky. They can easily break, be overdone, or underdone. Classically poached eggs are done in a pan on the hob. This recipe could simplify things significantly.

Eileen explained: "All you're going to do is pour some boiling water in a ramekin. Crack an egg in there and then throw it in the air fryer at 340F (171C) for 11 minutes.

"And this is what comes out, a perfectly poached egg every single time, oh my gosh look how beautiful."

She went on: "This may be the sexiest egg I've ever made and I hope you guys enjoy it too."

"This is what I’ve been wanting and missing," another said.

Of course, there are a number of other eggs one could make for dinner. This includes scrambled, and one foodie claimed to have a scrambled egg recipe "better than Gordon Ramsay's".
