Notes / Tips
Use silicone muffin cups or small ramekins that fit comfortably in your air fryer basket.
Do not overfill the molds, because the egg mixture will rise slightly as it cooks.
Blending the eggs with cottage cheese helps make the texture smoother and fluffier.
Cook at a lower temperature so the egg bites stay tender and do not brown too quickly.
Let the egg bites rest for 2–3 minutes before removing them from the molds.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Variations
Replace the bacon with diced ham or cooked breakfast sausage.
Swap the cheddar for mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or feta cheese.
Add chopped spinach, mushrooms, or broccoli for a veggie version.
Make them spicy by adding a little diced jalapeño or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Use turkey bacon for a lighter variation.
Add a little extra cheese on top before cooking for a richer flavor.
