Cooking times may vary based on the air fryer model, so keep an eye on your eggs the first time you try this recipe.
Customize your egg bites by adding herbs, different types of cheese, or meats such as bacon or sausage.
Store any leftover egg bites in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheat them in the air fryer for a quick snack.
