One of the most difficult things about making poached eggs is timing them right with other meal components. The golden liquid core can quickly set if cooked for a second too long, or worse, the white and yolk will be watery if undercooked.

Many people like the speed at which eggs can be poached in a saucepan, but recipe experts at Ocado suggest using an air fryer as a "super simple" alternative. They said, "Unreliable poached eggs are a thing of the past with this air fryer poached eggs recipe...this super simple cooking method gives you more time to elevate your eggs."

No quirky techniques or white vinegar are required to make poached eggs this way; you only need a few ramekins and some water.

Ingredients

• One tsp vegetable oil, for brushing the ramekins
• Four large eggs

 For Turkish-style eggs:

• 20g salted butter
• Two garlic cloves, finely chopped
• One tsp rose harissa paste
• Half tsp sea salt flakes
• Half tsp freshly ground black pepper
• Four tbsp Greek yoghurt
• One tsp fresh dill, roughly chopped
• Two pitta breads, toasted
