Tips For Making Air Fryer Eggs Benedict:
- Since there are different watt air fryers sold on the market, the cooking time listed in this recipe may differ from what is required for you. Test your egg-poaching container and cook time and adjust to get good results.
- When the eggs are done cooking, there may be a tiny bit of egg white that appears less opaque. This will set up while transferring the egg onto the English muffin. It is important to work quickly and not overcook the eggs if you want to have that signature oozing egg yolk center. The eggs will continue cooking in the hot ramekins/bowls, and the yolks will overcook, so it’s best to prepare everything else before the eggs and then work quickly to get the eggs benedict on the serving table.
- Even though I’ve listed the step of preheating the air fryer, it’s not always necessary. You will know best what works for your specific air fryer. Preheating an air fryer at 400°F typically takes 7 minutes. If you do not preheat the air fryer, the English muffins and Canadian bacon may take 4-5 minutes to cook.
- Remember that you can open up the air fryer and check on the food to see how it is cooking and decide how to adjust the cooking time.
- Although traditional poached eggs are made by dropping the eggs into boiling water, I found that trying to replicate this in the air fryer resulted in loose egg whites and did not cook well. Using just a couple tablespoons of water in a tiny bowl produced the closest texture and shape to traditional poached eggs.
- Using vinegar in the water for air fryer poached eggs did not produce different results.
How To Store Leftover Air Fryer Eggs Benedict
This meal is best served fresh. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
Extra hollandaise sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days and should not be left out more than 2 hours after preparation. If you wish to warm the leftover sauce, do so slowly and/or over low heat in either the microwave or a saucepan.
The recipe for hollandaise sauce as written should make 6 servings (2 eggs benedict per serving).
