Air fryer recipes are the best. Air-fried foods are lower in fat than deep-fried ones, so switching to an air fryer may be an easy way to help manage your long-term diet after surgeries like gastric sleeve and gastric bypass.
Light, fluffy and cute as a button, these wee egg bites are ready in no time at all. Make them ahead of time for a grab and go breakfast or snack.
Having something protein-shaped already made is half the battle, and 45g of protein before 8am explains why the first few hours matter so much. For the rest of the batch cooking, the zucchini corn fritters freeze beautifully and the air-fryer oats cover you on the mornings you want something warm.
Here's what you'll need
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup (30g) spinach, chopped
- ½ red pepper, diced
- ¼ cup (40g) feta cheese, crumbled
- 3 tbsp. almond milk, unsweetened
- salt & pepper
Here's how to make it
Heat the air fryer to 150°C.
Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, add in the spinach, red pepper, crumbled feta, almond milk and season with a little salt and pepper.
Evenly divide the egg mixture into 8 silicone muffin cases, filling each cup ¾ of the way. Place the filled silicone cups into the air fryer and fry for 10 to 14 minutes. Do this in two batches if necessary.
Once cooked, allow the egg bites to cool completely before removing them from the cups.
