Air fryer bacon and eggs is a quick and easy breakfast combo that’s crispy, delicious, and requires minimal cleanup. Here’s how you can make it:
Air Fryer Bacon and Eggs
Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bacon (or more depending on your air fryer size)
- 2 eggs (or more if you’re serving multiple people)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray (optional, depending on your air fryer)
Instructions:
Bacon:
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes.
- Arrange bacon: Place the bacon slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If needed, cut the bacon in half to fit.
- Cook: Air fry the bacon for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. (You can adjust the time depending on how crispy you want it.)
- Drain and set aside: Once done, place the bacon on a paper towel to drain any excess grease.
Eggs:
- Prepare the air fryer: After removing the bacon, you can wipe down the basket with a paper towel if needed. Then, spray the basket lightly with cooking spray.
- Crack the eggs: For an easy method, you can crack the eggs into small ramekins or silicone baking cups. This keeps them contained in the air fryer basket.
- Cook the eggs: Place the ramekins or cups in the air fryer basket and cook at 320°F (160°C) for about 6-8 minutes. For softer eggs, reduce the time; for firmer yolks, extend the cooking time.
- Finish and season: Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, carefully remove them from the air fryer. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Serve:
- Place the crispy bacon and eggs on a plate, and enjoy! You can even pair it with some avocado, toast, or a side of sautéed vegetables for a fuller breakfast.
That’s it! Quick, simple, and minimal mess. Would you be making this as part of a larger meal or just a light breakfast?
