Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon neutral oil or cooking spray
  • 4 fully cooked turkey sausage patties thawed if frozen

Equipment

  1. Grease four air-fryer-safe silicone egg cups and arrange with space around them.
  2. Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper and divide evenly among the cups.
  3. Air fry at 300°F for 7 minutes, then 1 to 3 minutes longer until set and 160°F; rest 2 minutes.
  4. Place an egg patty and fully cooked sausage on each muffin bottom, add cheddar and close.
  5. Air fry in one layer at 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes until cheese melts and the muffin is crisp.
  6. Serve immediately, or cool the components until no longer steaming before wrapping for storage.
