Notes

Notes

Air fryer temperatures vary: Start checking the egg bites around the 10-minute mark.
Don't overcook them: Overcooked eggs can become dry and rubbery.
Cottage cheese: Full-fat cottage cheese gives the bites a particularly soft texture. Blend until completely smooth.
Vegetables: Dice vegetables finely so they cook during the short air fryer time.
Watery vegetables: Cook mushrooms, spinach, or other high-moisture vegetables first and remove excess liquid before adding them.
Bacon: Cook the bacon before adding it to the egg bites.
Mold size: Cooking time may vary depending on the depth and size of your silicone molds.
Storage: Refrigerate cooked egg bites in an airtight container for up to approximately 4 days.
Freezing: Freeze cooled egg bites for up to approximately 2 months.
Reheating: Reheat gently in the air fryer at 300°F for approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
Nutrition: Nutrition values are estimates and will vary depending on the specific cottage cheese, bacon, cheese, and other ingredients used.
