Equipment

  • 8 ounce ramekins I like these that are linked because they have storage lids for simple meal prep.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup shredded cheese
  • 2 slices bacon (I use pre-cooked microwaveable bacon) cooked until crispy and diced
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon diced bell pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F or preheat your air fryer to 300F. Coat the inside of an 8 ounce ramekin with cooking spray. Layer the cheese and bacon on the bottom of the ramekin. Set aside. (note: the bacon, cheese, and bell pepper are all optional. You can add whatever mix-ins you like.)
  • Whisk together the eggs and milk in a small mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and stir once more. Pour the egg mixture in the ramekin on top of the cheese and bacon. Top with the diced bell pepper. (Note: you can whisk the eggs and milk in the ramekin but I prefer to whisk in a bowl so I don't make a mess.)

Air Fryer

  • Position the ramekin in the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes. Check the egg bake and if it is starting to brown on top, place a sheet of foil on top so the top does not get too brown. Continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes or until an internal temperature thermometer inserted in the center reads 165F.

Oven

  • Place the ramekin on a small baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until an internal temperature thermometer inserted in the center reads 165F.

Microwave

  • Place the ramekin in the center of the microwave and cook on high for 1 to 2 minutes or until an internal temperature thermometer inserted in the center reads 165F.
