Why You Should Air-Fry Your Bacon and Eggs
Air frying is a game-changer when it comes to making meals faster and healthier. Traditional bacon requires you to fry it in oil or bake it in the oven, both of which can get messy. But with an air fryer, you cut down on the oil while still getting that irresistibly crispy texture. Plus, cooking eggs in the air fryer is surprisingly efficient and ensures a consistently great result.
If you haven’t tried air-frying your breakfast yet, this is a great starting point!

Ingredients:
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Preheat Your Air Fryer: Set your Tefal Easy Fry (or any air fryer) to 180°C (356°F). The preheating will ensure your bacon cooks evenly and becomes nice and crispy.
Cook the Bacon: Lay 4 slices of bacon in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through to get that crispiness on both sides.
Remove the Bacon: Once crispy, remove the bacon and set it aside. Your kitchen should be smelling fantastic by now!
Cook the Eggs: Crack 2 eggs into small oven-safe dishes, or directly into the air fryer basket if you want fried eggs. Air fry the eggs for 3-5 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks remain a little runny.
Season and Serve: Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and plate alongside the crispy bacon. Voilà! You have a perfectly cooked, delicious breakfast.
Why This Breakfast Works
The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. With only three ingredients, you’re not only making a satisfying breakfast, but you’re doing so in a healthier way. Cooking bacon in the air fryer helps drain excess fat, and using minimal oil for the eggs keeps it light. Plus, the fast cooking time means this is a great option even on busy mornings.
Pro Tips for Air-Frying Success
Adjust Cooking Time Based on Your Preferences: Want your bacon extra crispy? Leave it in for an additional minute or two. Prefer your eggs more well-done? Simply extend the cooking time by 1-2 minutes.
Single Layer Only: Ensure that your bacon is laid out in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overlapping slices won’t crisp up evenly, and no one wants soggy bacon!
Easy Clean-Up: One of the best parts about using an air fryer is how easy it is to clean. Just wipe down the basket once it cools off, and you’re done!
Breakfast in Minutes
This Air-Fried Bacon and Eggs recipe is the perfect way to kickstart your day with minimal effort and maximum flavor. The air fryer ensures that both the bacon and eggs are cooked to perfection, and the minimal clean-up makes it even more appealing. Whether you're making breakfast for yourself or whipping it up for two, this recipe is a winner.
Next time you need a quick, delicious breakfast that won’t have you standing over the stove, fire up your air fryer and give this recipe a try. Happy cooking!
