Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: eggs 8–9 minutes, muffins 3–4 minutes
Total Time: 21–23 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil
- 4 English muffins, split
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack cheese
- 4 slices ham or Canadian bacon
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Start by preheating your air fryer to 390°F (199°C).
- In a bowl, beat together the eggs. Add salt and pepper to taste. Lightly spray the air fryer baking pan with oil and add the beaten eggs. Cook for 2 minutes, then stir the eggs. Continue cooking for 3 to 4 more minutes, stirring every minute until the eggs are scrambled to your preferred consistency. Once done, remove the pan from the air fryer.
- Place the bottom halves of the English muffins in the air fryer basket. Take half of the shredded Colby Jack cheese and divide it among the muffins. Top each muffin with a slice of ham or Canadian bacon, followed by one-quarter of the scrambled eggs. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the eggs. Gently press the cheese into the eggs with a fork to prevent it from slipping off before melting.
- Lower the air fryer temperature to 360°F (182°C) and cook the loaded muffin bottoms for 1 minute.
- Add the English muffin tops to the basket and cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes. This step will heat the muffins through and toast them to a delightful crunch.
TIP:
- These Egg Muffins can be prepared ahead of time. After cooking, wrap them tightly or store them in sandwich bags. They will keep well in the fridge overnight. When you’re ready to enjoy them, reheat them in the air fryer until the filling is warm and the cheese is melted. This will give the muffins a nice toasty crunch and restore their deliciousness.
