EGGS: Whole eggs are preferred for this recipe, but all egg whites will work for less cholesterol and more protein. Use 8 eggs for an all-egg white bite.

CHEESE: Cheese holds everything together. Mozzarella has a mild flavor that goes with the other ingredients, but so will Swiss, Cheddar, or a Mexican blend.

PROTEIN: Ham is already cooked and can be found pre-diced in small pieces that are perfect for egg bites. Bacon bits or breakfast sausages cut into small pieces are good, too.

VEGETABLES: Any veggies will do! Hash browns, diced potatoes, chopped spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, green onions, even jalapenos or sliced black olives will make colorful and nutritious egg bites.

How to Make Air Fryer Egg Bites

Air fryer egg bites turn out with the perfect texture and it’s so easy to make them:

Prepare silicone egg molds.
Whisk the eggs until they are light and fluffy.
Stir in the remaining ingredients (per recipe below) and pour the mixture into silicone molds.
Stir egg bites halfway through cooking.

Egg Bite Tips & Tricks

Always preheat the air fryer before cooking any recipe.
Avoid overfilling the egg mixture with too many add-ins or they won’t hold together when they are removed from the silicone molds.
Egg bites can get rubbery if they are overcooked. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center of one and if it comes out clean, remove them from the air fryer and let them set about 2 minutes before removing from the mold
