Air Fryer Breakfast Recipes
The published breakfast recipe is a three-egg omelette at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, cooked in a greased pan that fits inside the basket. You do not flip it, and you do not pour eggs into the bare basket. There is no breakfast-sandwich recipe on this site yet. If you want a fast savory meal that is not eggs, the 15-minute dinners guide is the better list.
Why breakfast is a lower temperature
Almost every other recipe here sits between 375°F and 400°F because the goal is a dry, browned surface. Eggs do the opposite. At 400°F they balloon and then weep. 350°F is the number on the omelette recipe for that reason. Do not reuse a chicken temperature for eggs.
The pan has to leave a gap of air around it. A dish that plugs the basket blocks the fan, and the bottom of the egg stays raw while the top skins over. A 6-inch cake pan suits most 5–6 qt baskets. A narrow drawer may only accept a ramekin, which needs the long end of the 8–10 minutes.
What else people try to call breakfast
Bacon, sausages, and leftover potatoes are reasonable morning foods and they are not written as full recipes here. Bacon timing is on the cooking times chart (350°F, 8–10 minutes). This hub stays with the omelette so the page does not pretend to be a breakfast index it has not earned.

Questions
Can you cook eggs in an air fryer?
Yes, in a greased oven-safe pan or silicone dish, not loose in the basket. The omelette recipe is 3 eggs at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, until the center is just set.
Are there air fryer breakfast sandwiches here?
No. The only breakfast recipe published so far is the omelette. Bacon times are on the cooking times chart if you want a side for it.
