Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Egg Cups

 

To ensure your Air Fryer Chorizo Egg Cups turn out perfectly every time, keep these tips in mind:

 

  • Lightly grease your muffin tray or silicone cups to ensure easy removal of the egg cups after cooking.
  • When adding the egg mixture, leave some space at the top of each cup to allow for expansion as they cook.
  • Start with the recommended time and adjust as needed until the eggs are set but still moist.

 

Pairing with Sides

 

Air Fryer Chorizo Egg Cups can be enjoyed on their own, but they also pair wonderfully with various sides:

  • Creamy avocado adds healthy fats and complements the spiciness of the chorizo.
  • A refreshing salsa can brighten up the dish and add an extra layer of flavour.
  • Serve with toasted bread or crusty rolls for dipping into the runny eggs.

 

How to Store Leftovers?

 

If you have any leftover Air Fryer Chorizo Egg Cups, storing them is straightforward:

  • Place them in an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to three days.
  • To reheat, simply pop them back in the air fryer at 160°C (320°F) for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
