Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Remove the scrambled eggs from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Variations
- Cheese: Add ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture before cooking for a creamy, cheesy version.
- Herbs: Add 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or basil, to the egg mixture before cooking for added flavor.
- Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the egg mixture for a spicy kick.
- Vegetable: Add ¼ cup of chopped vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms, to the egg mixture before cooking for added texture and flavor.
- Meat: Add ¼ cup of cooked and crumbled bacon, sausage, or ham to the egg mixture before cooking for a meaty breakfast.

Top Tips for Success
- Use an air-fryer-safe pan: Make sure the pan you use is safe to use in an air fryer to prevent any damage to your air fryer or the pan itself.
- Spray the pan with non-stick spray: Spraying the pan with non-stick spray ensures that the eggs don’t stick to the pan.
- Stir frequently: Stir every 2 minutes with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Cook to your desired doneness: Cook the eggs until they are set and cooked to your liking. If you prefer your eggs soft and runny, cook them for 1-2 minutes shorter. If you prefer your eggs firm and well done, cook them for 1-2 minutes longer.
