Preparation
Prepare the air fryer:

Serve:

Additional tips:
Prevent overcooked eggs:
- If you want runnier yolks, reduce the cooking time to about 8 minutes and examine the doneness before continuing.
Add a touch of extra flavor:
- You can add spices like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or fresh herbs like basil and parsley to adjust the flavor.
Vary the ingredients:
- If you don’t have spinach, you can replace it with kale or arugula. You can also try using goat cheese or feta instead of mozzarella for a flavor variation.
Prevent cheese from burning:
- If you notice the cheese starting to brown too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil and continue cooking until the eggs are done.
Prepare ahead:
You can get ready the ingredient combination ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to cook, just put it in the fryer and it’ll be ready in just a few minutes.
