Air Fryer Scrambled Eggs in Ramekins (Peppers & Mushrooms)

These air fryer scrambled eggs bake right in ramekins with diced bell peppers, mushrooms, and cheddar. You whisk everything in one bowl, pour it into greased ramekins, and let the air fryer do the rest at 300°F. Breakfast is on the table in about 10 minutes, and there’s no skillet to scrub.

The recipe fills 4 ramekins for 4 servings, so each one is its own portion. That makes it easy to feed a few people at once, or to tailor a cup or two with different cheese or vegetables.

Why You’ll Love These Air Fryer Scrambled Egg Cups

• Easy to customize: Change the cheese, add more vegetables, or adjust the seasonings.
• Fast: 5 minutes of prep and 5 to 7 minutes in the air fryer.
• Easy cleanup: One mixing bowl and 4 ramekins. Greasing them first helps the eggs release.
• Individual portions: Each ramekin is a ready-to-serve breakfast.

Ingredients Needed

• Eggs: 4 large eggs form the base. Fresh eggs give the fluffiest, creamiest texture.
• Bell peppers: 1/2 cup, diced, for color and sweetness.
• Mushrooms: 1/2 cup, diced, for an earthy, savory note.
• Cheddar cheese: 1/2 cup, shredded. It melts into the eggs as they cook.
• Heavy cream: 4 tablespoons make the eggs richer and creamier.
• Salt and pepper: Season to taste.

You’ll also need olive oil spray or nonstick cooking spray for the ramekins. Exact amounts are in the recipe card below.

Equipment

• Air fryer
• Ramekins
• Small mixing bowl and whisk

No ramekins? Any oven-safe dish or bowl that fits in your air fryer basket works. Ramekins are simply the easiest way to make individual servings.

How to Make Scrambled Eggs in Ramekins in the Air Fryer

Step 1: Mix the eggs. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, diced bell peppers, mushrooms, shredded cheese, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Step 2: Grease and fill the ramekins. Spray the 4 ramekins with olive oil spray or nonstick cooking spray so the eggs don’t stick. Divide the egg mixture evenly among them.

Step 3: Air fry. Set the ramekins in the air fryer basket or on the tray. Cook at 300°F on the air fryer setting for 5 to 7 minutes.

Air fryers vary, so check the eggs halfway through. Pull them once they’re cooked to your liking to keep them from getting rubbery.

Tips for the Best Air Fryer Egg Ramekins

• Start with fresh eggs. They give the fluffiest, creamiest result.
• Don’t skip the spray. A light coat of nonstick spray lets the eggs slide out and makes cleanup easier.
• Check early. Look at the eggs halfway through the cook time, especially the first time you make them in your air fryer.
• Swap the cheese. Cheddar is the default, but feta works well too.
• Add more vegetables. Spinach, onions, or tomatoes are easy additions.

Storing, Freezing, and Reheating

• Refrigerator: Let the eggs cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• Freezer: Scrambled eggs are best fresh, but you can freeze cooled leftovers in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 1 month.
• Reheating: Microwave for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring halfway through. Or warm them in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes.
