Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup diced potatoes
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Ensure the air fryer basket is lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes (approximately 1/2 inch). Toss the potato cubes with a light drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to ensure even seasoning.
- Spread the seasoned potato cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- While potatoes are cooking, dice the bell peppers and onions into small, consistent pieces.
- Once potatoes are golden and crisp, add the diced bell peppers and onions to the basket. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened.
- Create four small wells in the potato and vegetable mixture using the back of a spoon.
- Carefully crack one egg into each well. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny, or adjust cooking time to your preferred egg doneness.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the breakfast bowl during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
- Carefully remove the breakfast bowl from the air fryer using a spatula. Let it cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with optional fresh herbs like chives or parsley, and serve immediately while hot and fresh.
Tips
- Potato Perfection: Cut potatoes into uniform 1/2 inch cubes to ensure even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Don't Overcrowd: Spread ingredients in a single layer to allow proper air circulation and crisp texture.
- Egg Doneness Hack: For perfectly cooked eggs, keep a close eye during the final 3-4 minutes of cooking.
- Customize Your Bowl: Experiment with different cheese varieties or add bacon bits for extra flavor.
- Preheating is Key: Always preheat your air fryer to ensure consistent cooking temperature.
- Fresh Herbs Matter: A sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley can elevate the entire dish's presentation and flavor.
- Non-Stick Spray is Essential: Lightly spray the basket to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
