Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a bowl, combine ground lamb with 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and parsley. Mix gently and form 4 patties, about 2.5 oz each.
  3. Lightly oil the air fryer basket if needed. Place patties in a single layer and air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping at the halfway mark. Use a [digital meat thermometer](https://rocktopgear.com/amazon) to confirm the patties reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  4. While the lamb cooks, whisk eggs with heavy cream, then stir in spinach, mushrooms, bell pepper, cheddar, and the remaining salt and pepper.
  5. Grease four silicone muffin cups or small ramekins with olive oil. Fill evenly with the egg mixture.
  6. Remove the lamb patties and keep warm. Lower the air fryer temperature to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the filled cups in the basket and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the egg bites are set and reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit or until the yolks and whites are firm.
  7. Serve two patties with two egg bites per person. Enjoy immediately.
