Description
These Air Fryer Scrambled Eggs – Breakfast are light, fluffy, and ready in just 12 minutes. This easy air fryer recipe creates creamy, perfectly cooked eggs with minimal butter and cleanup—ideal for busy mornings, keto diets, or quick family breakfasts.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/3 tablespoon unsalted butter – adds flavor and prevents sticking
- 2 large eggs – provides richness and structure
- 2 tablespoons milk – creates a creamy, soft texture
- Salt – enhances the overall flavor
- Black pepper – adds mild spice and aroma
- 1/8 cup cheddar cheese – gives a cheesy, melty finish
Instructions
- Place butter in an air fryer-safe pan and cook at 300°F (150°C) for about 2 minutes until melted.
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Pour the egg mixture into the preheated air fryer pan.
- Cook for 3 minutes at 300°F, then open the air fryer and gently stir the eggs toward the center using a silicone spatula.
- Cook for another 2 minutes, then add the cheddar cheese and stir again.
- Cook for a final 2 minutes until the eggs are just set but still soft.
- Remove the pan carefully, season to taste, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use a silicone or plastic spatula to avoid scratching the nonstick pan.
- Do not overcook—the eggs will finish cooking slightly after removing from the air fryer.
- Add vegetables or cooked meats for a heartier version.
- For a dairy-free option, use almond or oat milk.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated at 300°F for 2 minutes.
