Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (14g)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Spray a 7-inch pan with non-stick spray and place the butter inside.
Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). Once preheated, place the pan inside the air fryer basket and melt the butter, about 1-2 minutes.
Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring every 2 minutes with a spatula, or until the eggs are set and cooked to your desired doneness.
Remove the scrambled eggs from the air fryer and serve immediately.
Variations
- Cheese: Add ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture before cooking for a creamy, cheesy version.
- Herbs: Add 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or basil, to the egg mixture before cooking for added flavor.
- Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the egg mixture for a spicy kick.
- Vegetable: Add ¼ cup of chopped vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms, to the egg mixture before cooking for added texture and flavor.
- Meat: Add ¼ cup of cooked and crumbled bacon, sausage, or ham to the egg mixture before cooking for a meaty breakfast.
Top Tips for Success
- Use an air-fryer-safe pan: Make sure the pan you use is safe to use in an air fryer to prevent any damage to your air fryer or the pan itself.
- Spray the pan with non-stick spray: Spraying the pan with non-stick spray ensures that the eggs don’t stick to the pan.
- Stir frequently: Stir every 2 minutes with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Cook to your desired doneness: Cook the eggs until they are set and cooked to your liking. If you prefer your eggs soft and runny, cook them for 1-2 minutes shorter. If you prefer your eggs firm and well done, cook them for 1-2 minutes longer.
FAQs about Air Fryer Scrambled Eggs
How do I know when the scrambled eggs are cooked?
They are cooked when they are set and no longer runny. Check by stirring them every 2 minutes and observing their texture.
Can I double the recipe to serve more people?
Yes, you can double or even triple the recipe to serve more people. Just make sure to use a larger air-fryer-safe pan to accommodate the increased volume of the egg mixture.
How long can I store the cooked eggs in the fridge?
You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Just reheat them in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 1-2 minutes before serving.
