Description

This Air Fryer Eggy Crumpets recipe is a quick and delicious breakfast option that transforms traditional crumpets into a cheesy, egg-soaked delight. Using an air fryer, the crumpets become perfectly soft inside with a golden, bubbly cheese topping, making it an easy and satisfying meal for any time of the day.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 crumpets
  • 3 medium free range eggs
  • 60 ml whole milk
  • 40 g mature cheddar cheese, grated (vegetarian if required)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Sprig fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Egg Mixture: Whisk the eggs and milk together in a large bowl with a pinch of salt and black pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  2. Soak Crumpets: Add the crumpets into the egg mixture and allow them to soak well until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn the crumpets multiple times to ensure even soaking on all sides.
  3. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the soaked crumpets into a lined air fryer basket in a single layer to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the grated mature cheddar cheese evenly over each crumpet, then top with finely chopped fresh parsley for a touch of freshness and color.
  5. Cook: Set the air fryer temperature to 160°C (320°F) and cook the crumpets for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden, and the crumpets are heated through.
  6. Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve the eggy crumpets hot and fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can use vegetarian or regular mature cheddar cheese depending on your dietary preference.
  • Ensure to turn the crumpets while soaking to achieve even absorption of the egg mixture.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to taste.
  • Fresh parsley adds a nice color contrast and freshness but can be omitted if unavailable.
  • If you do not have an air fryer, a conventional oven set at similar temperature can be used to bake the crumpets.
