Is This A Make-Ahead Recipe?

Yes, you can make this ahead in the air fryer accessory pan. When you’re ready to cook it the next morning, allow it to come to room temperature for about 20 minutes. That way it’s not going into the air fryer cold. It helps to have the ingredients not too cold so it can cook all the way through evenly. If you want an oven baked version, here it is.

Different Breakfast Meats to Use

You can use any type of breakfast meat for this recipe. Or if you’re a vegetarian, just add some extra onions, bell peppers or even spinach.

  • Crumbled Bacon – everyone loves bacon so adding some extra crispy cooked bacon on top is a real treat.
  • Bulk Sausage – You can use bulk sausage or sausage in the casing (remove the meat from the casing). Just pre-cook it before you add it to the mix.
  • Chopped Deli Ham: Nice chunks of salty ham is always a treat.

This classic breakfast casserole is perfect for small portions for the air fryer. If you’re serving a big crowd, the traditional oven still is best. But for 2 servings, air frying is great! For a vegetarian option, leave out the bacon and add some chopped spinach or kale.

  • If eggs are not completely set, then turn off the air fryer. Pierce a fork a few times in the center of the casserole and leave the casserole in the hot air fryer for about 5 minutes. This will help the eggs set without burning the top. Allow to cool slightly and enjoy!
