Blend for 30 seconds.

Place the silicone molds in your air fryer and divide the egg mixture across your molds.

Evenly disperse your veggies amongst the molds (~1 tbsp per egg). Sprinkle cheese on top of each egg muffin.

Cook in the air fryer for 5 minutes, stir, and cook another 8 minutes.

Cook just until eggs are set (they will continue cooking a little bit once removed.

Rest 5 minutes before removing from molds.

Allow the egg bites to cool for 5 minutes before serving.

When adding different add-ins, be careful not to overload the bites. They might fall a part after cooking.

How to freeze egg bites

To freeze, place the cooled egg bites in a container or freezer bag.

Freeze for 1 month. To reheat, thaw overnight in the fridge.

Microwave for a few seconds or reheat in the air fryer.

Should you cook vegetables before adding to egg bites?

If you want the veggies to be a little more cooked, saute a batch before adding them into the molds.

Can You Make Egg Bites in the Oven?

Yes. Follow the same instructions, except place the egg mold on a baking sheet.
