Tips:

For crispier bacon, cook it in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
If you like your bacon extra crispy, cook it for an additional 1-2 minutes.
To prevent the eggs from sticking to the air fryer basket, grease it with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
For sunny-side up eggs, cook them for 2-3 minutes. For over-easy eggs, cook them for 3-4 minutes. For over-hard eggs, cook them for 4-5 minutes.
If you want to add cheese to your eggs, sprinkle it on top of the eggs in the last minute of cooking.
Serve the air fryer bacon and eggs immediately with your favorite sides, such as toast, fruit, or hash browns.

Air fryer bacon and eggs is a quick and easy breakfast that is perfect for busy mornings. It is also a healthier alternative to traditional bacon and eggs, as it uses less oil.
