Description

Portable, protein-packed breakfast bites with a custardy center and crispy, golden edges, made quickly in an air fryer without stovetop mess.

Ingredients

Scale

4 large eggs
4–6 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tablespoons heavy cream or whole milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Non-stick cooking spray or oil for greasing molds

Instructions

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels, let cool, and chop into small bite-sized pieces.
Lightly grease silicone egg bite molds with non-stick spray or oil.
In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, cream (or milk), garlic powder, salt, and pepper until uniform and slightly frothy.
Divide egg mixture evenly among molds, filling about ¾ full.
Sprinkle crumbled bacon and shredded cheese into each mold, pressing down slightly to submerge.
Place molds in the air fryer basket without stacking. Cook at 330°F (165°C) for 12-15 minutes.
Remove from air fryer and let sit in molds for 2 minutes to firm up.
Flex molds to release egg bites and serve warm.

Notes

Ensure bacon is drained well to prevent sogginess. Do not overfill molds to allow for expansion. Cook at 330°F to maintain custardy texture; higher heat may cause rubberiness. Let rest for 2 minutes before removing from molds.
