Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the egg mixture. Preheating ensures even cooking.
Step 2: Whisk the Eggs
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Whisking thoroughly incorporates air, making the egg bites light and fluffy.
Step 3: Prepare the Fillings
Stir in the chopped ham, shredded cheese, and green onions. For even distribution, you can also place the ham, cheese, and green onions directly into the molds before pouring in the egg mixture.
Step 4: Grease the Molds
Lightly spray silicone muffin molds or ramekins with nonstick cooking spray. This prevents sticking and makes it easier to remove the egg bites.
Step 5: Fill the Molds
Divide the egg mixture evenly among the molds, filling them about ¾ of the way to allow room for expansion while cooking.
Step 6: Cook the Egg Bites
Place the filled molds into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 8–10 minutes, or until the egg bites are set in the center. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick—if it comes out clean, they’re ready.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Let the egg bites cool in the molds for 1–2 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm, or let them cool completely before storing.
FAQs
Can I make air fryer egg bites without dairy?
Yes! You can omit the milk or substitute it with a dairy-free option like almond or oat milk. The texture may be slightly firmer but still delicious.
How do I store and reheat egg bites?
Store egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, air fry at 300°F (150°C) for 2–3 minutes or microwave for about 30 seconds.
