These air-fryer egg cups are versatile and super easy to make, whether you’re rustling up brunch for the whole family or just fancy a quick brekkie before getting on with your day. If you prefer fried eggs, try this ‘life-changing’ microwave hack which uses less oil.
These little savoury delights contain tender, fluffy eggs baked to perfection, along with your favourite veggies, and topped with a melty layer of cheese. The secret lies in cooking them in the air-fryer, which locks in all the moisture, making eggs irresistibly soft and satisfying in no time.
When prepared as per instructions, this recipe from Egg Info makes four individual servings in around 15 minutes.
If you want to add some extra protein and flavour, try including some cooked bacon or sausage in the mixture, reports the Express.
Ingredients
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Four large eggs
- One cup diced vegetables
- One cup grated cheese
- Four tablespoons double cream
- One tablespoon fresh chopped coriander
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Method
Lightly grease four ramekins with non-stick cooking spray to ensure nothing sticks during the cooking process.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add in your diced veggies, half of the grated cheese, double cream, chopped coriander, and season generously with salt and pepper.
Stir everything together until combined.
Pour the egg mixture evenly into the greased ramekins, making sure they’re all filled to the brim. Place the ramekins in the air-fryer basket and set the temperature to 150°C (300°F).

Cook for 12 minutes, ensuring the eggs remain wonderfully fluffy and moist. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over each egg cup and adjust the air fryer to 200°C (392°F).
Allow it to cook for an additional two minutes to melt the cheese and achieve a delightful golden-brown finish. Take them out of the air-fryer and let them cool a bit before tucking in.
