This is one of the simplest recipes, although to figure out the cooking temperature and time, I did burn a few eggs.

Baked eggs are one of the most popular breakfast items in the world. If you are like me through all of your kids like eggs differently, whether they are soft boiled, over easy, poached or as my son will call them dunkie eggs. (The type where you dunk your toast into them and coat your toast with the yolk, do you know what I am talking about?)

How do you make the perfect baked eggs?

Well, I’m here today to give you some pointers.

The key to perfect scrambled eggs is to beat the eggs. Now, I’m not talking about regular beating, I am talking about whisking the eggs, which lets some air enter them when you whisk fast, and your eggs end up nice and fluffy.

What you need for a tool is simple, a good whisk, I have this one, and not only does it work wonders, it is fun to use.

Today’s scrambled eggs are a great way to start any breakfast, filled with protein and vegetables, and it should keep you filled through lunchtime.

I love using my Instant Pot (Pressure Cooker) for all of the recipes, I usually use my burner stove for, they are faster and require less clean up, plus my son travels a ton for hockey, so I can take the Instant Pot (Pressure Cooker) on the road, so it saves me money by not eating out at restaurants, since eating out with 20 hockey-playing boys gets very expensive, very soon.

First tip: If you make these, splurge and get ramekins, when I tried other containers they all failed.

Second Tip: Do not add any butter, they butter carmelizes and therefore burns, so you either get a burned egg or runny egg.

Third Tip: Be generous with the non-stick cooking spray. And if you are using your air fryer a lot. Or plan to, invest in one of these sprayers, Over the long run you will save a ton of money.

This is a really easy breakfast, that you can make for a crowd, in hardly any time. The best thing is that everyone gets their own individual one, which kids absolutely love. And it's low carb and KETo friendly breakfast. You can easily make these ahead of time and  pop them into the microwave to reheat (or use the air fryer to reheat)

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 1/2 cup diced ham
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (I used cheddar)
• 4 tablespoon heavy cream
• salt and pepper to taste
• 4-5 tablespoons cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, ham, cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper.

   

2. Spray your ramekins with olive oil spray.

   

3. Pour the egg mixture into the cups, evenly.

   

4. Set the ramekins in the air fryer basket or tray.

   

5. Set the temperature to 300 degrees (AIR FRYER SETTING) for 5 minutes.

   

6. After 5 minutes, check and see if your eggs are done. The Omni has a preheating setting, which is an additional few minutes. Sprinkle the extra cheese on it (optional) and close the air fryer, and just wait for it to melt, about a  minute.

7. Plate, serve and enjoy!
