Table of Contents

Basic Egg Mixture:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (or cream for a richer texture)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Add-Ins:

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon or sausage, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped spinach
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms, diced
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Equipment:

  • Silicone muffin cups or a silicone egg bite mold
  • Air fryer

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture

  1. In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until smooth.
  2. Add the milk, salt, and pepper to the eggs, whisking until well combined.
  3. Customize your egg bites by stirring in any desired add-ins, such as cheese, bacon, vegetables, or seasonings. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 2: Prepare the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes.
  2. Lightly spray the silicone muffin cups or egg bite mold with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 3: Fill the Molds

  1. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared silicone cups, filling each about 2/3 full to allow room for the eggs to puff up as they cook.
  2. Place the filled cups carefully in the air fryer basket, making sure they’re spaced out to allow for even cooking.

Step 4: Air Fry the Egg Bites

  1. Cook the egg bites in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 10-12 minutes. The exact cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model and the size of the egg bites.
  2. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of one of the bites; it should come out clean. The tops should be set, and the edges lightly golden.
  3. Carefully remove the egg bites from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Serve the egg bites warm, straight from the air fryer. They pair perfectly with toast, fresh fruit, or a side of avocado for a complete breakfast.
  2. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave for a quick breakfast on the go.

Tips for Success:

  • Use Silicone Molds: Silicone molds are ideal for air frying egg bites because they can withstand the high heat and ensure easy release.
  • Customize Your Fillings: Experiment with different combinations of meats, vegetables, and cheeses to create your perfect egg bite.
  • Don’t Overfill: Fill the molds only about two-thirds full to prevent overflow as the eggs puff up during cooking.
