Ingredients Needed For Air Fryer Bacon and Egg Cups

• Eggs
• Bacon
• Salt and Black Pepper
• Muffin Tin
• Air Fryer

How To Make Air Fryer Bacon and Egg Cups

In a muffin tin, place the bacon around the circular part, making a basket with the bacon. Set in the air fryer at 400 degrees F (air fryer setting) for 5 minutes.

After 5 minutes, crack the egg into the center of the 1/2 air-fried bacon.
Set back into the air fryer for another 5 minutes, if you want to add cheese, add some at this point.

Pro Tips:

• For best results, use a muffin tin that will easily fit into the air fryer basket.
• If you want your bacon really crispy, add the bacon first and cook for a few minutes before adding the egg.
• You can use silicone muffin cup liners, but they are hard to remove once the eggs and bacon are cooked.
• Since every air fryer is a bit different, and eggs cook quickly, I would watch them during the last few minutes of cooking.

Variations:

This is a really easy recipe, but you can change it out very easily; here are some of my suggestions for even more recipes.

• Meat: Use Canadian bacon, ham slices, turkey bacon, etc.
• Cheese: Add shredded mozzarella, cheddar, gouda, or any other of your favorite cheeses.
• Seasonings: Add Everything But the Bagel (amazing on top), Italian Seasoning, Garlic Powder, or Onion Powder.
• Vegetables: Make a mini quiche; add diced green bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, etc.
• Toppings: Add salsa, sour cream, avocado or tomato slices, etc.

How To Store Bacon and Egg Cups

This is a great make-ahead meal that I make a batch on Sunday, and then we eat during the week. They store very well. After you bake them up, let them cool to room temperature, and then place them into an airtight container. Place the container into the refrigerator, where they will last for about 2 to 3 days.

You can either reheat them in the air fryer or the microwave, heat them until warmed through.

How To Freeze Air Fryer Bacon and Egg Cups

These do not freeze well, so you will need to make a fresh batch when you want some.

Can I Scramble The Eggs In The Cups? 

Yes! This is a great recipe; you can mix the eggs with milk and then pour them into the center of the bacon.

The time and temperature will remain the same.

How Do I Get The Bacon Crispy?

If you want to get the bacon crispy, you will need to cook the bacon without the eggs for a couple of minutes.

This way, both the eggs and bacon are perfectly crispy and delicious!

What Pans Do I Need To Make Air Fryer Eggs In?

While you can use any muffin tin, you really need one that will fit inside your basket. A few of my favorites are: (affiliate links included)
