How to Make Air Fryer Baked Eggs in Peppers
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange);
- 4 large eggs;
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite);
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or basil);
- Salt and pepper to taste;
- 1 tablespoon olive oil;
- Optional: chopped tomatoes, onions, or spinach for extra flavor.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the tops off the bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes. If necessary, trim the bottoms slightly so the peppers can stand upright.
- Brush the outside of the bell peppers with olive oil and place them in a baking dish.
- If using, add a layer of chopped tomatoes, onions, or spinach inside the bottom of each pepper for extra flavor.
- Crack an egg into each bell pepper, being careful not to break the yolk.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs, then top with shredded cheese and chopped fresh herbs.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness. For a runny yolk, check the eggs at 20 minutes; for a firmer yolk, bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let the peppers cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the baked eggs in peppers warm, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
