Directions
Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes. While it’s warming up, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until they’re light and a little frothy. Stir in the Cheddar cheese, your choice of veggies, taco seasoning, and a pinch of garlic salt. Spoon this mixture evenly into silicone baking cups and place them carefully in the air fryer basket. Cook for around 5 minutes until the egg cups are puffed up and set. Serve them right away for the best texture and flavor.
Perfect Pairings
Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad. They pair nicely with a light salsa or avocado slices for added flavor. These egg cups also work well as a portable breakfast option.
Storing This Dish
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave to keep them fluffy. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change upon thawing.
