- 12 large eggs

- Desired mix-ins: e.g., diced bell peppers, spinach, crumbled bacon, cooked sausage, chopped herbs - amount varies
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Prep the Ingredients:
- Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk until well combined.
- Add the milk, cheese (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Grease Muffin Pan:
- Lightly grease your air fryer muffin pan or use silicone muffin cups to prevent sticking.
Assemble the Muffins:
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the muffin wells, filling each about 2/3 full to allow for rising.
- Add your desired mix-ins gently into each muffin well.
Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Place the muffin pan in the air fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the muffins are puffed and fully set.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
Cool and Serve:
- Once cooked, carefully remove the muffins from the pan and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy warm or store for later!
Notes
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with various vegetables, meats, and cheeses to create your ideal breakfast muffin.
- Meal Prep: These muffins can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes.
