Helpful Tips
- You’ll notice that the eggs expand quite a bit in the air fryer as they cook. When you take them out, they might be extending quite a bit outside the mold. They will collapse back and firm up as they rest. That’s why we let them sit for a few minutes before eating.
- I’ve also found that the center well doesn’t cook quite as consistently as the other wells. To avoid this issue, I sometimes leave the center mold empty and just use the outer ones.
- Don’t overfill the wells of the mold. If you pour the ingredients all the way to the very top, it will won’t have room to expand.
- You may have an easier time filling the silicon mold if you place the mold inside the air fryer basket before filling it. Then put in the ingredients when the mold is already in the basket.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I just bought an air fryer and tried to cook egg white egg bites. I put it in at 360 but after 12 min the top was burnt and it was still liquid. I raised th temp tv390 but still burned the top but the rest was set. Any suggestions on how to not burn the top?
I would put a piece of tin foil over the top to keep the from burning while they cook, or lower the temp below 360 so it can cook longer.
I don’t see how many eggs I’m supposed to use. Is it one per mold cup? If I want 6 bites, is that 6 eggs? And if you’re using liquid egg whites, what’s the measurement per mold cup?
The whole recipe, with 2 eggs, will make 7 egg bites. You could use 8 tablespoons or about 1/2 a cup of liquid egg whites in place of the 2 eggs.
Absolutely perfect! Recipe made 6 bites for me. If adding another 2 T veggie, i would probably get 7 bites. 1 1/2 T liquid per bite @ 6 bites. Looked and tasted wonderful. Garlic powder not overpowering. Definitely think spring/green onions more flavorful in the recipe. 7 minutes, plus 5 resting on spot. Thank you.
Happy to hear you liked them. It is a great recipe for personalizing. You can change or add so many ingredients to make them different every time.
