AIR FRYER ESSENTIALS: CHEESY BACON/EGG MUFFIN



Air Fryer Essentials: Cheesy Bacon/Egg Muffin image

These are easy/peasy to assemble and they taste really, really yummy. You can vary the cheese (tart, mild, or a combination), and choose a different protein (bacon, ham, sausage), or leave it out. In fact, next time I think that I will add a slice of tomato. And, as the weather gets colder... a bit of cayenne. The air fryer...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

PLAN/PURCHASE
3 slice bacon, diced
6 Tbsp cheese, freshly grated, your choice
1 english muffin, cut in half
2 large farm fresh eggs
salt, kosher variety, to taste
black pepper, freshly ground, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. To make these, you will need an air fryer, or they could be baked in an oven set to convection mode for similar results.
  • 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 4. Add the diced bacon to a pan and cook until it has reached your level of doneness.
  • 5. Drain on paper towels and reserve.
  • 6. Chef's Note: Whatever you choose, bacon, sausage, ham, etc., make sure that it is precooked.
  • 7. Set your air fryer to 375f (190c), and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.
  • 8. Chef's Tip: Most air fryer recipes do not talk about preheating; however, I find that I get more consistent results if I preheat. In most cases, 5 or 6 minutes does the trick.
  • 9. Cut the English muffin in half, lightly toast, and then dig a small indentation out of the middle of each one.
  • 10. Chef's Tip: If you are using bacon, then lightly brush some of the bacon grease over the cut tops. If you are using something else, melt a bit of butter, and brush over the cut tops. It makes a world of difference to the final product.
  • 11. Chef's Tip: I used a biscuit cutter to define the indentation, and then used a spoon to scrape it out.
  • 12. Add two tablespoons of the cheese, to each half, and then add the bacon.
  • 13. Add the eggs.
  • 14. Divide the rest of the cheese over the tops. If you want to use more cheese... I am not stopping you :-)
  • 15. Chef's Tip: I like to crack the egg in a bowl... That way I can check for any pieces of shell, and make sure the yolk stays whole.
  • 16. Chef's Note: Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper, to taste.
  • 17. Place into the air fryer and cook for about 4 - 5 minutes.
  • 18. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 19. Remove from the air fryer and serve while nice and hot. Enjoy.
  • 20. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
