School and after-school activities are back in full swing. Like, my husband and I are coordinating via google calendar invites and a giant whiteboard. I know that many families have operated like this for years, but our kids are finally old enough for it to be the very beginning of our craziness season. I know I’ve been making quick meals for a long time, but even I need to step up my game right now. These air fryer sausage and egg breakfast bites are helping to keep our lives on the fast track.
What You’ll Need
There are only a few actual ingredients in this recipe. Here’s what they are:
- 1 pound of ground breakfast sausage
- 3 cups of shredded hash brown potatoes
- 2 3/4 cups of shredded cheese, cheddar, divided
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
- 1 tablespoon of olive oil
- 12 eggs
- Parsley for garnish
In addition, I would add that you can use your favorite sauces or dips to accompany the breakfast bites.
The most important part (aside from the ingredients) are the air fryer and the jumbo silicone baking cups. If you’re looking for an air fryer, this is my favorite one!
