What can I make in the air fryer for breakfast?

I recommend starting with simple options like these cheesy egg bagels, air fryer bacon, breakfast potatoes, or even French toast sticks. The air fryer excels at creating crispy textures while keeping cooking times short.

Can you put an egg in an air fryer?

Absolutely! I cook eggs in my air fryer regularly, and they turn out perfectly every time. Just make sure to crack them into a small bowl first for better control when transferring to your cooking surface.

How do you reheat French toast sticks in the air fryer?

I usually reheat French toast sticks at 350°F for 2-3 minutes, which restores their crispy exterior while warming them through. This method works much better than the microwave for maintaining texture.

What's the most popular thing to cook in an air fryer?

From my experience, chicken wings and French fries are the most popular, but air fryer breakfast ideas like these bagels are gaining popularity because they're so convenient for busy mornings.
