4 Minute Air Fryer Egg Bites

What you'll need: Muffin liners and an air fryer… also:

  1. 1. Crack your eggs into a bowl and whisk. Add the cottage cheese, spinach, green onion, and whatever vegetables you’re using. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. 2. Set muffin liners directly in the air fryer basket and pour the mixture in, about three quarters of the way full.
  3. 3. Air fry at 300°F for about 4 - 5 minutes, until just set in the middle.
  4. 4. Let them cool for a minute before eating: they’re hotter than they look.
