How long do egg bites keep?
Egg Bites will last in the refrigerator for about 2 to 3 days. After that, they tend to get mushy. For best results, make them as directed in the recipe below, and then cool to room temperature.
For best results, wrap them tightly in saran wrap and then place them into the refrigerator. Keeping them airtight will help prolong the time.
To Reheat the Egg Bites in the Air Fryer: Place the ramekins into the air fryer and cook at 300 degrees F, air fryer setting, heat until warmed through. Check them frequently to make sure they do not dry out.

Are air fryer egg bites freezer friendly?
Yes, this is a great Air Fryer Freezer Breakfast Option that freezes really well. Let the egg bites cool to room temperature, and then place them into either a freezer bag or a freezer-safe container.
The egg bites will last in the freezer for about 1 to 2 months. For best results, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat them in the microwave or the air fryer.

Low Carb, KETO friendly, and Weight Watchers Friendly. This recipe hits all of the spots, and since the egg bites are filled with protein, you will keep full until the next meal.
