How to Make Easy Air Fryer Egg Bite Cups

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Enjoy the beautiful golden color as you mix!
Stir in the cheese, diced vegetables, salt, and pepper, letting the delightful aromas awaken your senses.
Spray the air fryer cups or silicone molds with cooking spray to ensure the egg bites release easily.
Pour the egg mixture into the cups, filling them about 3/4 full, allowing room for them to puff up as they cook.
Preheat the air fryer to 250°F (120°C) — the anticipation begins!
Place the cups in the air fryer basket and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg bites are set and spring back to the touch.
Allow to cool slightly, then remove from the molds and serve warm, reveling in the comforting flavors.
