Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 tablespoons (12 g) green onions chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) ham or Canadian bacon chopped
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) cheddar cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon (0.8 g) garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Spray egg bite mold with cooking spray.
  • Fill each well of the mold 1/2 full with green onion, ham and cheese.
  • In a bowl, combine the eggs with cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk together. Pour egg mixture into each well until it comes to the top of the other ingredients - about halfway full.
  • Set the egg mold into the air fryer basket. Cook at 340° F(170°C) for 7 minutes.
  • To check for doneness, use a toothpick to make sure no uncooked egg remains in the bottom of the mold. If there is, cook for 1 more minute. Then leave egg mold in the air fryer untouched for 5 minutes.

Notes

  • You'll notice that the eggs expand quite a bit in the air fryer as they cook. When you take them out, they might be extending quite a bit outside the mold. They will collapse back and firm up as they rest. That's why we let them sit for a few minutes before eating.
  • I've also found that the center well doesn't cook quite as consistently as the other wells. To avoid this issue, I sometimes leave the center mold empty and just use the outer ones.
  • Don't overfill the wells of the mold. If you pour the ingredients all the way to the very top, it will won't have room to expand.
  • You may have an easier time filling the silicon mold if you place the mold inside the air fryer basket before filling it. Then put in the ingredients when the mold is already in the basket.

All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
