Equipment

  • 8-ounce Ramekin
  • Oven
  • Air Fryer
  • Microwave

Ingredients
  

  • 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!)

Instructions
 

  • 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.

Notes

For healthier options, consider low-fat cheese and lean turkey bacon. Customize with your favorite healthy mix-ins like spinach or mushrooms!
