Preheat the air fryer: Set it to 300–320°F (150–160°C). A slightly lower temp helps the bites cook evenly and stay tender.

Prep the molds: Lightly grease silicone molds with nonstick spray or a small amount of oil. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.

Cook or prep fillings: If using raw vegetables like mushrooms or peppers, sauté briefly to remove moisture. Make sure bacon or sausage is cooked and crumbled.

Whisk the eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy. This adds air for a fluffier bite.

Layer the fillings: Divide cheese, meat, and vegetables evenly among the molds. This prevents uneven bites and helps distribute flavor.

Pour in the egg mixture: Fill each mold about 3/4 full. Leave a little room for the eggs to puff as they cook.

Air fry: Place the filled molds in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10–14 minutes at 300–320°F, checking at the 10-minute mark. They’re done when the centers are just set and a toothpick comes out mostly clean.

Rest before removing: Let the bites sit for 2–3 minutes. They’ll firm up slightly and release more easily from the molds.

Serve: Enjoy warm with a dash of hot sauce, a sprinkle of chives, or a side of avocado.
