How To Make Air Fryer Ham and Egg Cups

Start by spraying your muffin tin with olive oil. Line your muffin tin with a piece of ham. Sprinkle some shredded cheese in the middle of the ham slice.

Crack the eggs in a small bowl. Use a fork to beat the eggs. Add the sliced green onions, and mix well. Fill the muffin tin with the egg mixture. Then just set the muffin tin in the air fryer, 330 degrees F, for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, check and see if the egg if not add a couple of minutes.

Recipe Tips

• For best results using a metal muffin tin. I have found that the silicone liners, fall over, during cooking.
• You can use any type of deli ham for this, some great options are honey roasted, maple, and even smoked ham.
• Egg timing varies from air fryer to air fryer, so as the eggs cook up, check them frequently.

• You can use an egg substitute for this recipe.
• Change up your cheese. Some great options are Mexican Cheese, Shredded Colby Jack, and even Shredded Mozzarella Cheese.
• Add some seasonings, and some great ones are Everyiung Bagle Seasoning, minced garlic, and even Italian seasoning.
• Add some vegetables, and I have made these with diced (and cooked) bell peppers, onions, and even mushrooms.
