Air fryer bagels method
To make air fryer egg muffins you will need the following:
Step 1: Crack the egg into the ramekin, add the salt and pepper and beat together.
Step 2: Finely chop your chosen fillings – my favorite is spinach, ham, onion and tomatoes. Stir.
Step 3: Add a tablespoon of heavy cream, stir, and then top with shredded cheese.
Step 4: Set the air fryer to 390°F (195°C) and cook for 10-12 minutes until the cheese has melted and the egg is cooked.
Step 5: Carefully remove the ramekin from the air fryer and enjoy! You can also remove them from the ramekin and add the egg muffins to the side of your regular breakfast.
Air fryer egg muffins verdict
These air fryer egg muffins have finally broken my curse when it comes to cooking eggs.
The recipe allows me to make quick, easy high-protein breakfasts for myself, my partner, and my children with minimal effort, and maximum taste.
The only downside is that, if you want to make multiple muffins at the same time, you need to buy extra ramekins and just keep an eye on the cooking time. This has never been a problem for me, but it’s worth bearing in mind.
