Wet Ingredients
  • 6 large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Milk (any kind, dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
Dry & Savory Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup Unflavored Protein Powder (whey or casein blend recommended)
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese (e.g., cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 1/4 cup Finely Chopped Spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed and squeezed dry)
  • 1/4 cup Diced Bell Pepper (any color, finely diced)
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper (freshly ground)
  • as needed Cooking Spray

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • Silicone Muffin Cups (6-count)
  • Air Fryer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Chopping Board and Knife

Method
 

Prepare Ingredients & Equipment
  1. Finely chop the spinach and dice the bell pepper. If using fresh spinach, ensure it's well-drained. Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your silicone muffin cups with cooking spray, ensuring good coverage to prevent sticking.
Mix the Batter
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and olive oil until well combined and slightly frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Add the unflavored protein powder, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the wet ingredients. Whisk thoroughly until there are no lumps from the protein powder, creating a smooth, cohesive batter.
  3. Gently fold in the shredded cheese, chopped spinach, and diced bell pepper until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Air Fry & Serve
  1. Divide the batter evenly among the 6 prepared silicone muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Carefully place the filled muffin cups into your air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  2. Air fry for 15-18 minutes, or until the egg biscuits are puffed, set in the center, and lightly golden brown on top. You can insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, they are ready. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model.
  3. Carefully remove the egg biscuits from the air fryer. Let them cool in the silicone cups for 2-3 minutes before gently removing them. Serve warm and enjoy your Easy Savory Protein Egg Biscuits!

Notes

These Easy Savory Protein Egg Biscuits are excellent for meal prep! Store cooled biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat briefly in the microwave (30-60 seconds) or air fryer (2-3 minutes at 300°F/150°C). Feel free to customize with other finely chopped vegetables like mushrooms, green onions, or a sprinkle of dried herbs such as oregano or chives.
