Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs

Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs

amazonThe airy fryer is making egg cooking way easier and more convenient than traditional methods. These Air Fryer “Hard Boiled” Eggs take only 20 minutes without any water to boil or pan to clean.

There can be some adjustment needed on the time and temperature depending on what air fryer you have. I use the Midea Air Fryer. Here are some other options below if you are in the market to purchase one.


Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs

Hard boiled eggs are a go-to food for me and my kids in the morning to get some protein without eating too much. We all have a hard time eating in the mornings so eggs are perfect. Eat after a workout or put on salad for lunch. Lot’s of possibilities.

Place 4-6 eggs into the air fryer basket. Close and put temperature to 275 degrees. Place the timer on 20 minutes and let cook. If you like the eggs less done,  reduce time by 2 minutes.

I recommend testing out a couple batches with a single egg to get a feel for your air fryer and how you like your eggs. Note that the more eggs you put into the air fryer, the more time you will have to add for them all to cook thoroughly.

When the timer goes off, place the eggs into a bowl full of ice and water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel and eat. I like just a pinch of salt and cracked pepper on mine!

Yogurt Parfait with Strawberry Compote is made with plain yogurt, granola and a fresh strawberry sauce paired with a warm cup of New Bigelow Tea with Probiotics for a perfect start to any morning.

For the past 6 months, I have been really focused on living a healthier lifestyle by being more cautious of the foods I am consuming, cutting back on unhealthy habits like drinking alcohol, being physically active in everyday life and getting a daily workout in. I plan on maintaining my healthier lifestyle going into the fall season and beginning each morning with Bigelow teas are helping me do so.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, starts from the moment you wake up. Get in the right mindset! Stay positive and take a moment to yourself to meditate, stretch, pet your dog or whatever relaxes your mind before beginning the day.

After taking a moment of relaxation, make sure to eat a balanced breakfast. By having the first meal of the day be something that makes you feel good, you can easily continue your day eating healthy and staying in the right mind frame to create a better version of yourself.

What my breakfast looks like: 

  • Yogurt Parfait with Strawberry Compote made with yogurt, a high protein granola and fresh strawberries.
  • A probiotics tea from the Bigelow family with a pinch of honey.

Why drink Bigelow Tea with Probiotics as part of a balanced breakfast? 

Bigelow is my #1 choice when it comes to tea! I tea proudly with Bigelow because it is the only choice for me. Bigelow teas are manufactured in the US with individually wrapped foil pouches to deliver freshness. You can taste the quality and all-natural ingredients with every sip. The Bigelow family delivers an uncompromised tea experience with their tea blends. From the beautiful aroma to amazing taste to the warm feeling you get all over your body while drinking- there is nothing like enjoying a cup of Bigelow in the morning.

Speaking of quality ingredients, the innovative combination of Ganeden-BC30 helps maintain a healthy balance in the digestive tract when used as part of a healthy diet. Healthy digestion begins with these three probiotic flavors:

Yogurt Parfait with Strawberry Compote

I love starting my morning off with yogurt to pair with my Bigelow Tea with Probiotics! This Yogurt Parfait with Strawberry Compote hits the spots and keeps me motivated to eat healthier all day long. Plus, the strawberry compote is just plain delicious!

Never made a compote?

This strawberry compote is so simple to make. Make a batch on Sunday night to prepare for a week of delicious Yogurt Parfaits with Strawberry Compote to enjoy every morning with your Bigelow Tea.

Begin by washing, hulling and slicing fresh strawberries. Add the strawberries to a saucepan on the stove top, along with honey and lemon juice and bring to a low simmer. Simmer the strawberries for 12 minutes. I like to mash half the strawberries as they simmer to pull out all that amazing juice from the fruit. After the strawberries have simmered for 12 minutes, remove from heat and let cool. Once cool, place in refrigerator and enjoy as you please. This strawberry compote also tastes amazing on top of waffles, cheesecake or even as an addition to cold beverages like lemonade.

Banana Muffins

Banana Muffins

Banana Muffins is a classic recipe to utilize those overripe bananas with basic baking ingredients and chopped walnuts sprinkled on top baked just right for a breakfast or snack the whole family is going to love.

WARNING!!!

More than one batch may be needed. I am not responsible for the family fight that may break out over last Banana Muffin. 

Sunday mornings in my household usually start with a brunch. We don’t typically do anything fancy but some scrambled eggs, mix of fruit, hash browns and homemade muffins are frequently on the Sunday brunch menu. There is just something so comforting about a muffin served hot from the oven that gives you all the good feels.

Banana Muffins

These Banana Muffins are quite delicious and incredibly easy to whip up. Just smash your overripe bananas and whisk in the remainder of the ingredients. Bake and eat. Easy peasy. I think this is a great recipe for kids to begin learning how to cook also. So get your kids in the kitchen on Sunday morning with you!

Coconut Caramel Latte Breakfast Smoothie

Coconut Caramel Latte Breakfast Smoothie has my favorite morning foods like banana, coffee and almond milk blended into a super tasty smoothie with COFFEE-MATE® Coconut Caramel Latte Liquid Coffee Creamer and Reddi-wip Original Whipped Topping for a dollop of fun.

Creating this smoothie begins with brewing your favorite coffee. You can either make espresso or extra strong brew and let it cool. Once the coffee has cooled, pour into an ice cube tray. Place the tray into freezer for at least 2 hours or until completely frozen. Also, prep the banana by peeling, slicing and placing into freezer. It is best to prep the night before and make extra to enjoy all week long.

Once the coffee and banana is frozen, you can create your Coconut Caramel Latte Breakfast Smoothie. Place the frozen coffee cubes, banana, almond milk, oats, yogurt and COFFEE-MATE® Coconut Caramel Latte Liquid Coffee Creamer into blender. Blend until smooth and pour into a glass with a caramel and coconut rim. The recipe below is for two servings so take a glass to a neighbor to share or cut recipe in half.

This isn’t complete without a dollop of Reddi-wip Original Whipped Topping. Grab yourself a straw and enjoy every sip.

Halloween Breakfast CasseroleThis recipe comes from Betty Crocker and is just a fun way to eat breakfast for Halloween or before a trip to the pumpkin patch or Haunted House this Fall. This recipe is pretty simple to make. The hardest part is creating the eyes. Make sure you create nice little divots/bowls with the Canadian bacon to hold the egg in place and keep an eye on the last 10 minutes cooking. You want the egg whites cooked all the way through.

Veggie Loaded Breakfast Casserole, #ExperienceScrubDots, #adVeggie Loaded Breakfast Casserole

Veggie Loaded Breakfast Casserole is really simple to make. I used a bag of has browns found in the fridge section of your grocery store, eggs and shredded cheddar cheese. I picked my fresh veggies and fruits with onion, mushrooms, green bell pepper, Roma tomato, jalapeno and avocado. I also decided to use frozen spinach, although fresh spinach would also work nicely. If you would like to swap any of the vegetables for another your family enjoys more, you absolutely can!

Place your hash browns on the bottom of your large casserole dish. A 9 x 13 pan will work great. Wash all your fruits and vegetables well and dice. The frozen spinach will need to be defrosted and the excess water removed. I place the spinach in a dish towel and squeeze the water out. On top of the hash browns, add your spinach, diced mushrooms, green bell pepper, and onion. In a medium bowl, whisk your eggs with milk and stir in shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Pour egg mixture over top of hash browns.

Cover and bake for 1 hour. Before serving, add your diced tomato, sliced jalapeno and fresh avocado. A dash of hot sauce is also fantastic on top!

With all that baked on food in the casserole dish above, we are putting Scotch-Brite® Brand to the test today! I used the Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Dots Dishwand with my Scotch-Brite® Heavy Duty Scrub Dots Sponges on the side for any extra stubborn messes.

I soaked my casserole dish in hot water for 15 minutes and filled my wand with dish liquid. I cleaned the entire dish using only the dishwand and it came out sparkling clean!
