Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup low-fat milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Begin by whisking the eggs in a bowl until slightly frothy. Stir in the chopped spinach, cheddar cheese, and milk, then season with salt and pepper. For easy cleanup, lightly coat a set of silicone muffin cups or small ramekins with cooking spray.
Evenly divide the egg mixture into your prepared cups, leaving a little space at the top for the eggs to rise. Place the cups in the air fryer basket, ensuring they’re arranged in a single layer with some room around each cup for hot air circulation.
Air fry the egg bites at 350°F (180°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are golden. Carefully remove them from the air fryer, allowing a moment for them to cool slightly. Gently run a small spatula or butter knife around the edges, then pop them out and enjoy.
