Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bacon
Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (390°F) for about 3-5 minutes. This ensures that the bacon starts cooking immediately.
Arrange the Bacon:
Place the bacon slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If your air fryer is small, you may need to cut the bacon in half or cook in batches. Make sure the slices do not overlap to allow for even cooking.
Step 2: Cook the Bacon
Air Fry the Bacon:
Cook the bacon for about 8-10 minutes, checking halfway through. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and the desired level of crispiness. For extra crispy bacon, you can add an additional 2 minutes.
Remove and Drain:
Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the bacon from the air fryer and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess grease.
Step 3: Prepare and Cook the Eggs
Prepare the Eggs:
While the bacon is cooking, crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste, and whisk until the yolks and whites are well combined.
Prepare the Ramekin:
Lightly spray a small oven-safe dish or ramekin with non-stick spray (optional). Pour the whisked eggs into the dish.
