Equipment

Air Fryer (Mine is the Instant Vortex Plus XL)
Egg bite molds
Mixing bowl
Spoon
Knife
Grater

Ingredients

4 eggs
½ cup shredded cheese e.g., cheddar or mozzarella
½ dried basil
½ teaspoon Salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Prepare your egg bite molds. Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the molds, filling them about ⅔ full, as the egg bites will expand slightly while cooking.
Place the molds in the preheated air fryer. Cook for 10 minutes or until the egg bites are golden brown and firm.
After cooking, carefully remove the egg bites from the molds and allow them to cool slightly. Serve the egg bites warm, either as a breakfast option or as a snack. You can also add your favorite vegetables, seasonings, or sauces to customize the flavor.

Notes

Cooking Time and Temperature

Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes or until golden brown and firm.

Taste & Texture

Soft, fluffy egg bites with melted cheese throughout and lightly golden tops.

Storage, Freezing & Reheating

Refrigerator: Store leftover egg bites in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Freeze the egg bites for several months.
Reheat: Warm them in the air fryer for a couple of minutes or use the microwave for a quicker option.

Serving Recommendations

I like serving these with some fresh fruit when I want an easy breakfast. A little salsa or sour cream on the side also works really well with the eggs and cheese.
For something more filling, serve them with a green salad for a light lunch.

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

Try Swiss, feta, or Gouda instead of cheddar or mozzarella.
Add finely chopped zucchini or red peppers to the egg mixture.
Use egg whites instead of whole eggs for a low-carb variation.

Proper Storage Tips

Let leftover egg bites cool before placing them in an airtight container.
Keep them refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Freeze them if you want to keep them for longer.

Pro Tips

Fill the molds only ⅔ full.
Rotate the molds halfway through cooking for more even results.
Let the egg mixture rest for a few minutes before filling the molds.
These egg bites are great as a frozen option to make at a later date. They last well for several months.
