STEP 1. Heat oil in a heavy skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium; add the vegetables and cook until they begin to turn soft. Turn the heat off and set it aside.

STEP 2: Whisk the eggs together with the milk in a small bowl.

STEP 4: Top the vegetables with shredded cheese and pour the egg mixture on top. Place the egg bites into a preheated air fryer at 400°F, and air fry for 8 minutes.

STEP 5: Once they are cool enough to handle, remove the egg bites from the silicone egg cups and enjoy!

Note: Cooking time can vary depending on the model of your air-fryer. The egg bites should be golden brown and fully cooked through.

Tips for Success

Air fryer settings – Times may vary by model, so keep an eye on the egg bites as they cook.
Silicone molds – Due to their flexibility, they make removing the egg bites easy and mess-free.
Batch cooking – Double the recipe and refrigerate for up to 4 days or freeze.
Don’t crowd the air fryer – Air fryers cook more efficiently when there is enough space for air to circulate around the food.

Storing and reheating

Air fryer egg bites are not just a quick and easy breakfast option; they are also perfect for meal-prepping a large batch to enjoy all week long.

Refrigerate – To keep them fresh, store the egg bites once they reach room temperature in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freeze – Cool off to room temperature first. Then lay the egg bites on a rimmed sheet pan and freeze for at least an hour until they are frozen through. Remove them from the baking tray and place into a freezer-safe container or a freezer bag for 3 months.
Reheat – When you are ready to eat, reheat the egg bites in the microwave, oven or air fryer on a low setting until they are heated through.

Fresh Herbs – Add a few pinches of fresh or dried herbs such as chives, oregano, dill or basil for more flavor.

Add Meat – Add cooked sausage or bacon crumbles to the egg cups before cooking them.

Tex-Mex – For a Tex-Mex twist, stir ½ teaspoon (or more, to taste) of chili powder into the eggs, and add chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.

Mediterranean – Add chopped olives, tomatoes, feta cheese, and chopped Greek oregano to create a Mediterranean-inspired flavor.

Recipe FAQs

Can I make air fryer egg bites in a conventional oven?

Egg bites can easily be made in a conventional oven. Follow the recipe instructions in the recipe card. Place the uncooked egg bites into a preheated oven at 400 degrees f. Bake for about 10 minutes or until they are cooked through and golden brown on top.

Will the egg bites stick to the silicone liners?

Egg bites do not typically stick to the silicone liner. Once they are cool enough to handle, you can fold the sides of the liner back and pop the egg cups out. If you are concerned about sticking, you can brush a little olive oil or cooking spray into each cup before filling them.

How do I know when the egg bites are fully cooked?

The egg bites are ready when the tops turn a light golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
