Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Bread Bowls
Cut a circle from the top of each bread roll.

Mix until combined.
Step 3: Fill the Bread Bowls
Place the bread bowls in the air fryer basket.
Carefully pour the egg mixture inside each bread bowl.
Do not overfill because the eggs will expand while cooking.
Sprinkle extra cheese on top.

until the egg is set and the cheese is melted and golden.

Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
