Ingredients

  • ½ green bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 3 pork breakfast sausages (sliced into bite sized pieces)
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella (4 tablespoons)

For the egg mix

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400F.
  • Place the diced bell pepper and onion into a baking dish and add in the sliced sausage.
  • Cook at 400F for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through, til the sausage is browned and the veggies are soft.
  • While that is cooking, mix together the ingredients for the egg mix in a jug (eggs, cream, salt, pepper and garlic powder).
  • Once the sausage and veggies are cooked, top with the shredded cheese and pour the egg mix over the top.
  • Cook at 260F for 30 to 35 minutes til the egg is cooked all the way through.

Notes

  • Don't be tempted to try and cook this quicker on a high heat. If you do this, the top will get super hard and crispy and the bottom will not be set- learn from my mistakes!
  • Depending on what you cook the egg casserole in, you may need to lightly oil the surface of it so that the eggs don't stick.
  • As it is, this recipe is super tasty, but feel free to mix up the ingredients to suit your tastes!
  • For best results, let the air fried casserole sit for 5 minutes before cutting into it. This will allow any liquid egg to set.
