Who else loves Starbucks egg bites, but not the price??!! We do!! Beyond that I like to load them up with lots of bacon bits, cheese and they make a great leftover ham recipe too. Use egg whites only for a low fat bite, vegetables for extra texture or all the things
We use leftover ham after the holidays to make these for brunch the next day every year. OH YUM. You can even throw these in WITH sausage patties in air fryer and they’ll cook together all at once.
Ninja Foodi Egg Bites
So for Ninja Foodi recipes you can choose either our pressure cook version which will come out really tender and soft, or these. Both are great but the texture on both are opposite. I would suggest making them both and deciding which you prefer. You literally can use all the same ingredients for both.
Egg Bite Add-Ins
If you want to add diced vegetables that is great but there is a trick to it. You don’t want to add any added moisture so it is important to saute or fry them first and set on a few paper towels to absorb any liquid on the outside first. Meat should be precooked ahead of time, and grease drained too. Cheese should be shredded and eggs are best at room temperature when whisked.
How Long to Cook Egg Bites in Air Fryer
About 10 minutes but that depends on how “well done” you want them to become. You don’t want it runny but there is a range of how solid you do want them to become. Basic steps to follow are here: First put your silicone egg cups into your air fryer basket.
Can I use silicone cups in an air fryer?
Yes but there other options. You can use any oven safe dish or mold in the air fryer. They can be made of glass, ceramic, metal or silicone but I will say that silicone cups and molds work the best overall. You will need some sort of holder as opposed to just making air fryer hard boiled eggs right in the shell.

How long do egg bites last in the fridge?
First of all I have never had leftovers. I don’t think they would be great the day after even if I did, however if you do have some left here’s what you do. You can keep these in the fridge for about 4-5 days, which is PERFECT for healthy breakfasts throughout the week.
If you see extra liquid in the bottom of your storage container because of all the vegetables don’t worry, it’s totally normal. If you want to reheat egg bites you can so in the microwave, 20 seconds should do it.

How can you reheat them in the air fryer after freezing?
It will dry out I would use your microwave instead at 45 seconds or so.
Ho can you reheat them after freezing in the air fryer?
Easy peasy. I did not use any milk or cheese. Added in some chopped tomatoes. Put them in for 15 minutes and they turned out perfectly.
OH yay!
Do you have to use silicone cups? can you just use cupcake cups (paper/)
I would not use those, they won’t work well
2 things: 1) Mine turned out better when I cooked them at 340 for 13 minutes. 2) A gravy ladle (smaller than a soup ladle) was perfect for filling the cups.
The egg bites took longer to cook than the recipe said, but they were delicious. I used precooked bacon crumbles from Costco.
Excited to try more recipes in
The Ninja. Made BLT’s yesterday on toast. Whole sandwich, 8 min, no mess, no grease flying on everything. No getting out a toaster and a frying pan. Making scrambled eggs plus this morning in it. Think I love this thing. Not totally nuts about it sitting out on the cabinet but its worth it. Especially because it flips up to take up less space. ❤️❤️❤️❤️It! May encourage me to start cooking again.
Yay!
Mine did not turn out at all. 300 and going on 50 minutes still not done. Either it is the silicone I ordered or the air fryer. Man never making eggs again in my air fryer. I did as the instruction said.
