Microwave
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional, choose a low-fat option for healthier)
- 2 slices pre-cooked bacon crisped and diced (optional, lean turkey bacon for healthier)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy for lighter options)
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon diced bell pepper (any color for extra vitamins!)
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) or your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). Lightly coat the inside of an 8-ounce ramekin with cooking spray for easy release.
If using, gently layer the shredded cheese and crispy diced bacon at the bottom of the ramekin. This is your chance to customize with your favorite healthy mix-ins like spinach or mushrooms!
In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until they're well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then give it another quick stir.
Carefully pour the egg mixture over your layers in the ramekin. For a pop of color and extra veggies, sprinkle the diced bell pepper on top.
Air Fryer Method (Quickest!):
Place the ramekin in your air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes, then check for browning on top. If it's getting too dark, loosely cover with a small piece of foil. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes (total 15 minutes), or until a thermometer reads 165°F (74°C) in the center.Oven Method (Classic Bake!):
Set the ramekin on a small baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the center reaches 165°F (74°C) and the eggs are set.Microwave Method (Super Fast!):
Place the ramekin in the center of your microwave. Cook on high power for 1 to 2 minutes. Check with a thermometer to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) doneness. Cooking times can vary, so keep an eye on it!Let your delicious, protein-packed egg bake cool slightly before diving in! It’s perfect for a healthy start to your day or a quick, satisfying snack.
