One-Basket Air Fryer Breakfast Muffin

A proper breakfast muffin without getting pans all over the kitchen. This easy air fryer breakfast combines a fried-style egg, sausage patty, crispy hash browns and melted cheese — all cooked in the same air fryer basket.

Using the EGGR egg cooker means you can cook the egg neatly in the air fryer alongside the rest of your breakfast, making this a really simple weekend breakfast or brunch.

Prep: 2 minutes
Temperature: 180°C
Serves: 1

Ingredients

  • 1 breakfast/English muffin
  • 1 egg
  • 1 sausage patty
  • 2 small hash browns or hash brown pieces
  • 1 slice of burger style cheese
  • A little cooking spray

Method

  1. Start the sausage and hash browns
    Place the sausage patty and hash browns into your air fryer basket.
  2. Air fry at 180°C
    Cook until the sausage is cooked through and the hash browns are becoming golden and crispy. Roughly 8 minutes
  3. Prepare your EGGR egg cooker
    Lightly spray the inside of your EGGR with cooking spray.
  4. Add the egg
    Crack one egg directly into the EGGR egg cooker.
  5. Add the muffin and cheese
    Add the bottom half of your breakfast muffin to the air fryer and top it with a slice of cheese so it warms and melts while everything finishes cooking.
  6. Cook the egg
    Place the EGGR into the same air fryer basket and continue cooking until the egg is cooked to your preferred level of doneness.  Roughly 6 minutes.
  7. Build your breakfast muffin
    Start with the cheesy muffin base, then layer on the sausage patty and crispy hash browns.
  8. Add the egg
    Release the cooked egg from the EGGR and place it on top.
  9. Finish and serve
    Add the top of the muffin and serve straight away.

Why cook it all in one air fryer basket?

The best thing about this breakfast is that everything can be cooked in the same air fryer basket. The sausage, hash browns, muffin, cheese and egg all come together without needing a frying pan.

The EGGR egg cooker keeps the egg contained while it cooks and gives you a neat round egg that's ideal for a breakfast muffin.

Cooking tip

The exact cooking time will depend on your air fryer and the sausage/hash browns you use, so check the cooking instructions on those products and make sure the sausage is thoroughly cooked before serving.

For the egg, simply adjust the finishing time depending on whether you prefer a runny or firmer yolk. For more detail, see our air fryer egg cooking guide.
