How to Cook Eggs in Air Fryer
This healthy breakfast recipe comes together in only 3 easy steps!
- Preheat your Air Fryer to 350 degrees for 3 minutes.
- Mix together all of your ingredients and add to an oiled ramekin.
- Cook for 8-11 minutes, or until the egg is set in the middle.
Are eggs keto?
Yes, eggs are keto! Eggs are excellent on the keto diet because they provide you with a large amount of protein and healthy fat, while containing less than 1 net carb!
Tips for the BEST Air Fryer Eggs
- Be sure to oil your ramekins! Your eggs will likely stick if you skip this step. Once oiled, your eggs will easily release from the ramekin.
- Don’t skip the cottage cheese! Adding this to your eggs makes them super creamy and adds extra protein.
- Make a large batch and keep in the freezer for an easy meal prep breakfast!
- To make this breakfast even faster, chop up your veggies and meat the night before so you can just grab them from the fridge when you’re ready to assemble the eggs!
- Try to give your ramekins as much space in the Air Fryer as you can- you want to give the hot air plenty of room for circulation.
- Add some seasonings! Try pepper, cayenne (if you like spice) or your favorite seasoning blend.
Are these cottage cheese eggs good for keto meal prep?
Air Fryer Eggs are perfect for meal prepping. You can prepare as many as you like ahead of time and store in the fridge in an airtight container, so all you need to do in the morning is pop them in the microwave and run out the door!
Can I freeze these mini Denver Omelets?
Yes, you can easily freeze this keto recipe. After cooking your eggs, remove from the ramekins and allow to cool completely. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag. These Air Fryer Eggs will stay fresh for up to three months. To reheat, allow to thaw and then warm in the oven, microwave or pop back into the Air Fryer!
What are some good breakfast side dishes?
This is a super filling breakfast on its own, but a big appetite might require some extra side dishes. If you miss your classic biscuit, try these Bacon Cheddar Chive Keto Biscuits! If you’re more of a toast person, try the Basic Keto Chaffle. Easy Keto Bagels are super easy to meal prep and freeze so a quick breakfast is ready anytime!
If you prefer a sweeter breakfast, start yours with this Starbucks copycat, the Keto Coffee Frappuccino. Add a piece of this Keto Zucchini Bread for the breakfast version of dessert… A delicious sweet chocolate treat!
