Air Fryer Breakfast Recipes

A good day starts with a good breakfast, which is the most important meal among the three meals a day. Many busy office workers or mothers often have little time to prepare breakfast, resulting in a hurried meal that lacks nutritional value. As the saying goes, "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper." Here are some quick and healthy air fryer breakfast recipes that are perfect for office workers and can be made in just a few minutes.

Cheese Rice Balls (Kids' Favorite)

•  Prepare a bowl of rice, add 1 spoonful of shredded pork, 1 spoonful of sesame seaweed flakes, and 1 spoonful of canned tuna (or mashed salted egg yolk, feel free to mix and match) and mix well.
• Use a spoon to scoop the mixed rice onto cling film, twist into a rice ball, and place on a baking tray.
• Take a slice of cheese, cut it into 4 small pieces, place on top of the rice ball, squeeze some ketchup and salad dressing over it, and sprinkle some black sesame seeds for decoration.
• Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes, place the rice balls in, and cook at 180°C (356°F) for 5 minutes.

Sausage Rolls

• Prepare a scallion pancake, cut it into 8 strips, and wrap each strip around a small sausage.
• Brush with egg yolk (just the yolk mixed with a little salt and maybe some pepper powder), and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
• Cook in the air fryer at 180°C (356°F) for 10-15 minutes, until the surface turns golden brown.

Baked Sweet Potato

• Prepare a sweet potato (the size of a fist), peel, steam until cooked, then mash.
• Add one egg and 50ml of milk, mix well.
• Sprinkle cheese evenly over the mashed sweet potato.
• Cook in the air fryer at 180°C (356°F) for 10-15 minutes, until slightly golden brown.

Butter Toast

• Prepare two slices of bread, cut into pieces, and place in the air fryer.

• Sprinkle granulated sugar on top, according to taste.
• Cook in the air fryer at 180°C (356°F) for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
