Description

This is the perfect breakfast bite, easily prepared in the air fryer. I love a great ham and cheese omelet, so I made my version via egg cups today.

Ingredients 

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup diced ham, cooked
  • 1/4 cup Swiss cheese, shredded

Instructions

  • In a small mixing bowl, mix the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the eggs are frothy.
  • Whisk in the diced ham and Swiss Cheese.
  • Spray the egg molds with non-sticking cooking spray, and then pour the egg mixture into the cups, filling about 2/3 the way full.
  • Set into the air fryer for 5-8 minutes at 350 degrees F, air fryer setting.
  • Check to make sure they are fully cooked before removing them.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Ramekins, or oven-safe dish
  • Cooking Spray
  • Parchment Paper, optional

Notes

How To Store, Freeze, and Reheat Air Fryer Ham and Cheese Bites
Storing:
  1. Cool Down: Before storing, allow the ham and cheese bites to cool completely at room temperature. This will prevent them from becoming soggy from the steam.
  2. Refrigeration: Transfer the bites into an airtight container. Layer them with parchment paper in between to prevent sticking. They can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
Freezing:
  1. Flash Freezing: Once the ham and cheese bites have completely cooled, place them on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching. Place the sheet in the freezer for about 1-2 hours, or until they are frozen solid.
  2. Storage: Transfer the flash-frozen bites into a freezer-safe bag or container. Label the bag with the date and contents. They can be frozen for up to 2 months for the best quality.
Reheating:
  1. From the Refrigerator: If the bites are stored in the refrigerator, place them back into the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes, or until warmed through.
  2. From the Freezer: There's no need to thaw the bites. Place the frozen ham and cheese bites directly into the air fryer. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 4-5 minutes or until they are heated thoroughly.
Remember, when reheating in the air fryer, it's crucial not to overcrowd the basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you might need to reheat the bites in batches. This ensures that they warm up evenly and retain their crispy texture. Enjoy your delicious bites, whether they're freshly made or reheated!
