New Year’s Day Brunch
1. Air Fryer Eggs Benedict
The ultimate holiday brunch, ready in about 25 minutes. The air fryer toasts the English muffins, crisps the Canadian bacon and poaches the eggs, while a blender hollandaise comes together in about a minute.
2. Air Fryer Poached Eggs
Perfect poached eggs in about 6 minutes, with no vinegar and no swirling water. Cooked in ramekins, they come out as neat rounds ready for toast, grain bowls or your own Benedict.
3. Air Fryer Breakfast Casserole
Fluffy eggs, savory sausage and melty cheddar baked in individual ramekins in about 20 minutes. It’s keto-friendly and easy to prep ahead, so a houseful of guests can each get their own.
Quick Weekday Eggs
4. Air Fryer Scrambled Eggs
Soft, fluffy scrambled eggs in about 7 minutes. Instead of standing at the stove, you give them a quick stir every couple of minutes while the air fryer does the work.
5. Air Fryer Fried Eggs
Sunny side up in about 5 minutes, with crispy lacy edges and a runny yolk. No flipping and no oil splatter.
6. Air Fryer Baked Eggs
Crack eggs into a ramekin and walk away. In about 10 minutes you get golden edges and a yolk cooked just how you like it: runny, jammy or fully set. Great for keto and meal prep.
7. Cracker Barrel Egg in a Basket
A copycat of the Cracker Barrel favorite: crispy, golden toast with an egg cooked right in the center. Kids love it, and it takes just a few minutes in the air fryer.
Boiled and Deviled Eggs
8. Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs
One of the best air fryer hacks around: no water and no boiling. Set the eggs in the basket for 15 minutes at 250°F, then give them an ice bath. Make a batch on Sunday for snacks and salads all week.
9. Air Fryer Soft Boiled Eggs
Jammy, dippable yolks in about 8 minutes. Serve with toast soldiers for a cozy winter breakfast.
10. Air Fryer Southern Deviled Eggs
Creamy, tangy-sweet deviled eggs that start with no-boil, easy-peel air fryer eggs. Bring a platter to your New Year’s Day gathering and watch them disappear.
Before You Go
Three egg tips for the new year
- Use ramekins. Poached, baked and casserole eggs all cook in small ramekins, so a set of four is worth having by the air fryer.
- Start low. Air fryers vary, so check your eggs a minute early the first time and note what works for yours.
- Batch your boiled eggs. A dozen hard boiled eggs on the weekend means quick breakfasts, snacks and deviled eggs all week.
