• 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage
• 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper (optional)
• 1/4 cup diced onion (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Cooking spray or oil (for greasing)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mixture

1. Whisk Eggs and Milk: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Add Ingredients: Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked sausage, bacon, diced bell pepper, and onion (if using). Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 2: Prepare the Air Fryer

1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) for about 5 minutes.
2. Grease the Pan: Lightly grease a baking dish or a suitable pan that fits in your air fryer with cooking spray or oil.

Step 3: Bake in the Air Fryer
