Expert Tips

For best results, do not overfill the muffin cups, as the egg mixture will expand while cooking. You can also experiment with different vegetables, proteins, or spices to tailor the muffins to your taste. If you prefer a denser texture, add a bit of flour or cooked quinoa to the mixture.

Always check the muffins around the 10-minute mark to prevent overcooking. If you are cooking a larger batch, you may need to increase the cooking time slightly.

Variations

This Egg Muffins Recipe Air Fryer is incredibly versatile. Here are a few variations you can try:

• Meat Lovers: Add cooked bacon, sausage, or ham for a heartier muffin.
• Cheesy Broccoli: Substitute spinach with steamed broccoli and use mozzarella cheese.

• Herb Infusion: Add fresh herbs like basil, cilantro, or parsley for extra flavor.

To store your egg muffins, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them.
