Ingredients

6 large eggs
6 oz breakfast sausage links or bulk (gluten-free verified), cooked, crumbled
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 tsp garlic powder
as needed nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

1

Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C). Lightly coat a silicone egg-bite mold or silicone muffin tray (6-cup) with as needed nonstick cooking spray.
2

In a bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder until smooth and uniform.
3

Divide the 6 oz cooked, crumbled breakfast sausage links or bulk (gluten-free verified) evenly among the mold cups. Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese on top of the sausage in each cup.
4

Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese in each cup, filling to about three-quarters full.
5

Place the mold in the air fryer basket. Cook at 300°F for 10 to 12 minutes, until the egg bites are set in the center and an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) is reached.
6

Let the bites rest in the mold for 2 minutes, then pop them out with a small spatula. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Questions

Can I make Air Fryer Breakfast Sausage and Egg Bites dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup heavy cream. Swap the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor); the cream for full-fat coconut milk or an oat cooking cream. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Air Fryer Breakfast Sausage and Egg Bites keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Re-crisp leftovers in the air fryer at 350 F for three to four minutes; the microwave softens the coating.

Can I halve or double Air Fryer Breakfast Sausage and Egg Bites?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, air-fry in batches; a crowded basket steams instead of crisping.
