This Air Fryer Breakfast Bowl is inspired by the Chick-Fil-A Breakfast Bowl but you can make it without leaving your house. It's important for my family to have a good, filling breakfast so that we are fueled up for our busy day.
I don't have time in the mornings to stand at the stove and make a variety of foods that everyone likes but with this recipe I can put it in the air fryer and keep going.
Breakfast Bowl Recipe
We love Chick-Fil-A but getting out for breakfast is virtually impossible on our crazy mornings, and it's so much cheaper--and just as good--to make these Air Fryer Breakfast Bowls at home.
It's easy to change out the protein if you are not in the mood for chicken and everyone loves adding their own toppings. And it's really fun to make breakfast for dinner with this dish.

What kind of air fryer are you using?
I am using the Cosori 5.8qt with this recipe.
Don’t have a springform Pan. Can I substitute something else ? Thanks
Hi Patricia. You can use a cakepan, or Corning ware dish, as long as it fits in your air fryer. Thanks!
My eggs leaked through the spring form pan. Any way to stop that from happening?
Yes! You can opt to use a oven save dish versus a springform pan, or you can line the springform pan with parchment paper like you would with a cheesecake 🙂
I'm doing low carb, what could I substitute the tater tots with?
You could sub with cauli tots 🙂
