Ingredients

Cups
6 strips regular-cut bacon
Filling
6 large eggs
¼ cup shredded cheddar
Salt & pepper
Fresh chives

Equipment

  • Instant-Read Meat Thermometer
  • Silicone Muffin Cups
  • Air Fryer Parchment Liners

Steps

  1. 1

    Wrap each bacon strip inside a silicone muffin cup, forming a cup shape.

  2. 2

    Air fry at 370°F for 4 minutes to set the shape.

  3. 3

    Crack one egg into each cup. Season. Add cheddar on top.

  4. 4

    Cook 5-6 more minutes until whites are set. Garnish with chives.

💡

Tip: Use regular-cut bacon — thick-cut won't crisp before the egg overcooks. For meal prep, cook yolks fully. Reheat at 300°F for 2-3 min.
