Air Fryer Sausage Egg and Cheese Scramble
A hearty breakfast scramble cooked in individual ramekins using an air fryer. Whisked eggs are combined with crumbled cooked sausage and melted cheddar cheese, then air fried until fluffy and golden. Perfect for busy mornings when you want a hot, protein-packed meal without the stovetop mess. The air fryer creates perfectly cooked eggs with crispy edges while keeping the center creamy. Great for meal prep or feeding a crowd since you can make multiple servings at once.
