Recipe notes and expert tips

  • Preheat
    We pre-heat our air fryer, but if you have an oven-style basket-type air fryer, you probably won’t need to. 
  • Ramekins
    You can use ramekins to air fry egg bites; we recommend placing a muffin case inside each ramekin so that the bites are easy to remove.
  • Eggs
    We’ve made ours from whole eggs, but you could also make them using egg whites, liquid eggs, or vegan Just Egg mixture; flavors will vary but you can still cook egg bites this way.
  • Watch closely
    Every air fryer cooks differently; different brands and capacities can mean that your food will need a longer or shorter cooking time, so keep a close eye on them.

How to store leftover air fryer egg bites

You can store the egg bites in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

Leftover egg bites also freeze well and store them in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.

Remove them from the freezer the night before and leave them in the fridge to defrost overnight.
