Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and at room temperature.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and add the milk. Whisk thoroughly until the eggs are completely blended and slightly frothy.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper, mixing well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
- Prepare your air fryer by lightly greasing a small, air fryer-safe baking dish or ramekin with cooking spray or butter.
- Fold the diced ham into the egg mixture, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout.
- Pour the egg and ham mixture into the prepared baking dish, leaving a small amount of space at the top to prevent overflow during cooking.
- Preheat the air fryer to 300°F (150°C) for even cooking.
- Place the baking dish into the air fryer basket and cook for 6-8 minutes, checking periodically to prevent overcooking.
- When the eggs are nearly set but still slightly soft, sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
- Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy.
- Carefully remove the dish from the air fryer using oven mitts, as it will be hot.
- Let the scramble rest for 1-2 minutes to allow the eggs to set completely.
- Serve hot, directly from the baking dish, and enjoy your Air Fryer Toaster Scrambles.
Tips
- Temperature is Key: Keep your air fryer at 300°F for even, gentle cooking that prevents rubbery eggs.
- Whisking Technique: Whisk eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, creating a fluffier texture.
- Don't Overcrowd: Use a small, appropriate-sized baking dish to ensure even cooking.
- Cheese Timing: Add cheese in the last 1-2 minutes to prevent burning and ensure perfect melting.
- Fresh Ingredients Matter: Use room temperature eggs and freshly shredded cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- Customize Your Scramble: Experiment with different meats like bacon or sausage, or add vegetables for extra nutrition.
- Watch Carefully: Air fryers can cook quickly, so check your scrambles periodically to prevent overcooking.
- Let It Rest: Allow the scramble to sit for 1-2 minutes after cooking to help it set perfectly.
