Ingredients

• 6 large eggs: The main event, for that fluffy structure.
• 1/4 cup milk or unsweetened almond milk: Adds a touch of creaminess.
• 1/2 cup chopped spinach: For a pop of color and nutrients.
• 1/4 cup finely diced bell pepper (any color): Brings a sweet crunch.
• 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion: A little sharp, savory flavor.
• 1/3 cup crumbled feta cheese: Salty, tangy, and so good.
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder: For a little background warmth.
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper: Essential seasoning.
• 1/4 teaspoon salt: To make all the flavors sing.
• Non-stick cooking spray: To make sure they pop right out.

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper together until they’re well combined and a little frothy.
2. Lightly spray the cups of your air fryer silicone egg bite mold (or small oven-safe ramekins) with non-stick spray.
3. Evenly distribute the chopped spinach, bell pepper, red onion, and feta cheese between the prepared cups.
4. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the veggies and cheese in each cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way to the top.
5. Place the mold into the air fryer basket. Cook at 300°F for 10-12 minutes. They’re done when the tops are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Let them cool in the mold for about 2-3 minutes before gently popping them out. Serve warm!

Air Fryer Cooking Tips

Don’t overfill the cups! Leave a little room for the eggs to rise as they cook. If you don’t have a special egg bite mold, small oven-safe ramekins or even a muffin tin that fits in your air fryer will work in a pinch. All air fryers can run a little hot, so start checking at the 9-minute mark. And honestly, if your cheese gets a little bubbly and golden on top? That’s not a mistake, that’s a feature. So, so tasty.

Variations & Substitutions

This recipe is a perfect blank canvas. For a different cheese, try sharp cheddar or pepper jack. Not a fan of feta? No problem. Out of bell peppers? Toss in some chopped mushrooms or diced tomatoes instead (just pat the tomatoes dry first!). For a meaty version, some chopped smoked turkey sausage would be delicious. And if you’re dairy-free, just skip the milk or use a non-dairy alternative and omit the cheese—they’ll still be great.

Make-Ahead & Freezer Ideas

These are a meal-prepper’s dream. To make ahead, let the cooked egg bites cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. For the freezer, place the cooled bites in a single layer on a baking sheet to flash freeze for an hour. Then, transfer them to a freezer bag. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. Such an easy way to have healthy breakfast recipes ready to go.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days. To reheat, the air fryer is your best friend. Pop them back in at 300°F for 3-4 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for 30-45 seconds, though the texture won’t be *quite* as perfect. If reheating from frozen, no need to thaw! Just add a few extra minutes to the air fryer time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these without a silicone mold? Absolutely! Any small, oven-safe dish that fits in your air fryer basket will work. Just keep an eye on the cooking time as it might change slightly.

Are these egg bites good for a breakfast buffet? They are fantastic! You can make a big batch with different mix-ins and keep them warm for a crowd. They’re a total breakfast inspo superstar.

My egg bites stuck to the mold. What happened? Did you spray it with enough non-stick spray? That’s usually the culprit. A good coating is key for easy release.

How can I tell if they’re done cooking? The tops should look set and not jiggle when you shake the basket. A toothpick test is the best way to be sure.
