Ingredients

Units Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup baby spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup bacon, chopped
  • 1 small shallot, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer
    Preheat your air fryer to 190C (375F). This ensures the egg bites cook evenly.
  2. Prepare the egg mixture
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, salt, and pepper until smooth. This will be the flavorful base of your egg bites.
  3. Fill the molds
    Divide the spinach, cheddar cheese, bacon, and shallots equally into six silicone molds. Place the molds in the air fryer basket, then pour the egg mixture evenly over the fillings in each mold.
  4. Cook the egg bites
    Air fry the egg bites for 8 minutes, or until they rise and are lightly browned on top. Be careful not to overcook.

Notes

  • To Store: Let the egg bites cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • To Freeze: Transfer cooled egg bites to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months.
  • To Reheat: Microwave the egg bites in 15-second intervals until warm.
  • Flavor Variations
  • Bacon Gruyère: Replace cheddar with gruyère cheese.
  • Mediterranean: Swap bacon for chicken, use feta cheese, and add chopped bell peppers.
  • Ham and Swiss: Use ham instead of bacon and Swiss cheese instead of cheddar.
  • Sausage: Opt for turkey or chicken sausage and toss in green onion.
  • Veggies Only: Skip the meat and add finely chopped vegetables like zucchini, mushroom, garlic, or broccoli.
