- ¼ cup cooked meat bacon, sausage, or ham, optional
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- Crack eggs into a mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Add shredded cheese, vegetables, and cooked meat (if using) to the bowl.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Grease the Molds:
- Lightly grease silicone egg bite molds or ramekins with non-stick cooking spray or oil.
Fill the Molds:
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the molds, filling each about ¾ full to allow room for rising.
Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C).
- Place the molds in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the egg bites are set and lightly golden.
Cool and Serve:
- Remove the molds from the air fryer and let the egg bites cool for 2 minutes.
- Gently remove the bites from the molds and serve warm.
Notes
- Mix-In Ideas: Add diced tomatoes, mushrooms, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Storage: Store leftover egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave before serving.
- Meal Prep Tip: Make a large batch and freeze them for a quick breakfast option. Reheat frozen egg bites directly in the air fryer at 300°F for 5-6 minutes.
