Air Fryer Egg Bites
Description
This recipe uses a blend of eggs, cream, and milk whisked until pale and fluffy, then combined with cooked bacon, shredded cheddar, and sliced green onions, spiced with dry mustard powder and seasoned with salt and pepper. The mixture is poured into mold cups and air fried at moderate temperature. Stirring after several minutes prevents fillings from sinking or floating, creating evenly distributed egg bites.
The result is a tender set of egg bites with a balanced savory flavor from bacon and cheese, complemented by mild onion and mustard notes. Cooking in an air fryer reduces the need for extra fats and promotes even cooking.
These egg bites are suitable as convenient breakfast options or protein-rich snacks. They should be cooked just until set to avoid dryness, as residual heat continues to cook the eggs after removal. The recipe cautions against overloading with mix-ins to maintain proper texture.
Ingredients
- 7 egg
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon milk
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 2 green onions sliced
- ¼ teaspoon dry mustard powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 340°F.
- Whisk eggs, cream, milk, mustard powder, salt & pepper in a medium bowl until fluffy and pale yellow in color.
- Divide bacon, cheese and green onions over the cups of the molds (or small bowls).
- Place in the air fryer basket and pour egg mixture overtop.
- Cook in the air fryer for 11-13 minutes stirring after 7-8 minutes. Cook just until eggs are set (they will continue cooking a little bit once removed. Rest 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Whisk eggs thoroughly until fluffy and pale yellow to ensure uniform texture without streaks.
- Adjust air fryer cooking time based on your appliance and mold size; cook until just set to avoid dryness.
- Pre-cook and drain any added vegetables to prevent excess moisture in the egg bites.
- Stir the mixture after 7-8 minutes in the air fryer to evenly distribute add-ins.
- Avoid adding too many mix-ins, or the egg bites may not hold together well.
