- Veggies: No bell peppers? Try spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini.

🧾 Ingredients

🍳 How to Make Air Fryer Egg Bites
1. Whisk the Eggs
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2. Add the Fillings
Stir in cheese, bell peppers, and any extras like onion or bacon. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 270°F (130°C). Preheating helps the bites cook evenly.
4. Grease the Molds
Lightly coat silicone muffin molds or ramekins with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
5. Fill & Load the Air Fryer
Fill each mold about ¾ full. Place them carefully into the air fryer basket.
6. Cook the Bites
Air fry for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Cool & Remove
Let them cool slightly, then gently pop them out of the molds. They’ll be light, fluffy, and easy to handle!
8. Serve or Store
Serve warm or let them cool completely before storing. They’re perfect for meal prep and reheat beautifully!

Can I use egg substitutes?
