Take two small ramekins or silicone cups and fill each with ½ cup of water.

Add ¼ teaspoon vinegar to each ramekin (this helps the egg whites set).

Crack an egg into each ramekin carefully.

Place the ramekins in the air fryer and cook at 340°F (170°C) for 6-7 minutes for a soft poached egg.

Carefully remove the ramekins and use a slotted spoon to lift the eggs out.
