Air Fryer Bacon and Eggs
Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients:
For the Bacon:
- 8 slices of bacon
For the Eggs:
- 4 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3 minutes.
2. Cook Bacon:
- Place the bacon slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the bacon reaches your desired crispiness. You may need to flip the bacon halfway through for even cooking.
3. Remove Bacon:
- Once the bacon is crispy, use tongs to transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
4. Prepare Eggs:
- While the bacon is cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, and whisk until well combined.
5. Cook Eggs:
- Grease the air fryer basket lightly. Pour the beaten eggs into the basket. Cook at 350°F (180°C) for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the eggs are scrambled and cooked to your liking.
6. Serve:
- Plate the scrambled eggs alongside the crispy bacon. Garnish with chopped chives or parsley if desired.
Optional Tips:
- Variation: Instead of scrambled eggs, you can also make sunny-side-up eggs or an omelette in the air fryer.
- Toast on the Side: Toast a couple of slices of bread in the air fryer while the bacon and eggs are cooking for a complete breakfast.
- Cheese Lover’s Twist: Sprinkle shredded cheese on the scrambled eggs during the last minute of cooking for cheesy eggs.
