Cooking eggs, bacon, and toast in an air fryer is a convenient and efficient way to prepare a breakfast meal. Here’s how you can do it:
- Preheat your air fryer: Set your air fryer to the appropriate temperature for cooking bacon, usually around 400°F (200°C). Preheating ensures even cooking and better results.
- Prepare the bacon: If your bacon is thick-cut, you may want to partially cook it in the microwave for a few minutes to render some fat and make it slightly crispy. Otherwise, you can skip this step. Place the bacon in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook the bacon: Put the bacon-filled air fryer basket into the preheated air fryer and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Check on the bacon occasionally to ensure it doesn’t burn. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the bacon and your desired level of crispiness.
- Prepare the eggs: While the bacon is cooking, you can prepare the eggs. You have a few options:
- Fried eggs: Heat a small non-stick skillet on the stovetop over medium heat. Add a bit of oil or butter and crack the eggs into the pan. Cook them to your desired doneness (e.g., sunny-side up, over-easy, etc.). This method allows you to control the cooking process more precisely.
- Scrambled eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until well beaten. Season with salt and pepper or any other desired spices. Pour the scrambled eggs into a greased or lined oven-safe dish that fits inside your air fryer basket.
- Cook the eggs: Once the bacon is done, remove it from the air fryer basket and set it aside. Place the dish with the scrambled eggs into the air fryer basket. Cook for about 5-6 minutes or until the eggs are set and cooked to your liking.
- Prepare the toast: While the eggs are cooking, you can prepare your toast. You can use pre-sliced bread or toast the bread slices yourself. Place the bread in the air fryer basket and cook for 2-3 minutes until it reaches your desired level of toasting.
- Serve: Once everything is cooked, carefully remove the eggs, bacon, and toast from the air fryer. Serve them together on a plate, and you have your eggs, bacon, and toast prepared in the air fryer.
Remember, cooking times may vary depending on the model and brand of your air fryer, as well as personal preferences for doneness. Adjust the cooking times accordingly to achieve the desired results. Enjoy your breakfast!
