Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs (for the perfect texture, use fresh organic eggs)

  • ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend)

  • ¼ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy like this almond milk)

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp baking powder (for extra fluffiness!)

  • Cooking spray

  • Optional add-ins: diced bell peppers, spinach, cooked bacon, or mushrooms

Directions

  • Prepare the Batter
    🔹 In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and baking powder until smooth.
    🔹 Stir in the shredded cheese and any optional add-ins you like.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer
    🔥 Preheat the air fryer to 325°F (163°C) for 2-3 minutes.
  • Prepare the Muffin Cups
    🔸 Lightly grease silicone muffin molds or line them with parchment paper cups.
    🔸 Fill each mold about ¾ full with the egg mixture.
  • Cook the Muffins
    🔹 Carefully place the muffin molds into the air fryer basket.
    🔹 Air fry at 325°F (163°C) for 8-10 minutes or until the egg muffins are puffed up and set in the center.
    🔹 Insert a toothpick—if it comes out clean, they’re done!
  • Serve & Enjoy
    🍽 Let the muffins cool slightly before removing them from the molds.
    🍽 Enjoy them warm, or store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
