Recipe story

The origins of this dish can be found in traditional French cuisine, where eggs were often combined with cheese to create quick and nutritious meals. In the 19th century, Parisian chefs popularized the idea of baked eggs in individual molds, served as appetizers or breakfast. The recipe was later adapted for the air fryer, preserving the tender texture and rich flavor.
