Crispy Air Fryer Broccoli and Cheddar Breakfast Bites

These crispy air fryer broccoli and cheddar breakfast bites are the perfect grab-and-go breakfast or snack. They're made with just a few simple ingredients, and they're ready in under 15 minutes.

I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover broccoli. I had tried roasting it, but it always came out soggy. I decided to try cooking it in the air fryer, and it turned out perfectly crispy! I added some cheddar cheese and eggs to the mix, and these breakfast bites were born.

Prep time: 10 | Cook time: 10 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 head of broccoli, chopped
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup almond milk
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, cheddar cheese, eggs, almond milk, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix well.
4. Drop the mixture by rounded tablespoons onto a parchment paper-lined air fryer tray.
5. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve immediately.

Why It Works

• The air fryer cooks the broccoli quickly and evenly, resulting in a crispy texture.
• The cheddar cheese melts and becomes gooey, adding a delicious flavor to the bites.
• The eggs bind the ingredients together and help to create a fluffy texture.
