Crispy Bacon and Avocado Egg Cups
Crispy Bacon and Avocado Egg Cups are a quick and easy breakfast or brunch recipe that can be made in the air fryer. The bacon cups are filled with a mixture of eggs, avocado, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. The cups are then cooked in the air fryer until the eggs are set and the bacon is crispy. This recipe is perfect for a busy morning or for a weekend brunch.
The inspiration for this recipe came from a desire to create a breakfast or brunch dish that was both easy to make and delicious. I also wanted to create a recipe that could be made in the air fryer, which is a relatively new kitchen appliance that I have been experimenting with. I started by experimenting with different ways to make bacon cups. I tried cooking the bacon in the air fryer, in the oven, and on the stovetop. I found that the air fryer produced the crispiest bacon cups. Once I had perfected the bacon cups, I started experimenting with different fillings. I tried fillings such as eggs, cheese, and vegetables. I found that the combination of eggs, avocado, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper was the most flavorful and satisfying filling. This recipe is now one of my favorites and I often make it for breakfast or brunch.
