Introducing a recipe for a moist and savory bread cup egg bake, perfect for kids, made easily in the air fryer using leftover bread! It’s crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making it a satisfying snack or brunch option!
Main Ingredients- 2 slices of bread
- 2 Tbsp canned corn (drained)
- 2 Tbsp chopped ham
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbsp shredded cheese
- A pinch of dried parsley
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, drain the canned corn thoroughly and finely chop the ham into bite-sized pieces suitable for children. Measure out 2 tablespoons of each and place them in a bowl.
Step 2
Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise to the ham and corn mixture in the bowl and mix well until the ingredients are bound together. The mayonnaise will add a delicious savory flavor.
Step 3
Next, add about 1/3 tablespoon of sugar to the mixture for a touch of sweetness. It’s best to taste and adjust, as too much sugar can make it overly sweet.
Step 4
Now, prepare the bread slices. Trim off the crusts cleanly with a knife, then use a rolling pin to flatten the bread. After that, make shallow cuts on each side of the bread to help it fit nicely into the cup and hold its shape.
Step 5
Grease the inside of the paper cups thoroughly with cooking oil. This step is crucial to prevent the bread from sticking, ensuring a clean removal later. Carefully press the prepared bread slices into the greased paper cups, conforming them to the shape.
Step 6
Inside the cups lined with bread, add about 1 tablespoon of the seasoned ham and corn mixture. This will form a hearty base within the bread cup.
Step 7
Now, crack one egg into each cup. Be careful not to break the yolk immediately. Gently poke the yolk with a fork to break it. This will help the egg cook more evenly and result in a creamier texture.
Step 8
Generously sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese over each egg. As the cheese melts, it will create a rich, gooey topping that binds the egg and bread together beautifully.
Step 9
Place the assembled bread cup egg bakes into a preheated air fryer set at 170°C (340°F) and cook for approximately 10 minutes. They are ready when the tops are golden brown and the cheese is fully melted. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model.
Step 10
Carefully remove the golden-brown bread cup egg bakes from the air fryer. Let them cool slightly, then sprinkle with dried parsley for a lovely finish. Enjoy them warm for the best taste!
