Place the muffin molds in the air fryer basket. Cook at 375°F for 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure the eggs are cooked to your liking and the bread is perfectly crisp.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Finally, carefully remove the breakfast cups from the molds and serve them warm. Pair with fresh fruit or a cup of coffee for a complete breakfast.
