Air Fried Burger Cups

These Air Fried Burger Cups are an innovative twist on a classic burger, combining the heartiness of beef with the richness of cheese and bacon, all topped with an egg in a neat, edible cup. This recipe is perfect for a fun brunch, a unique dinner, or even as a protein-packed snack. With the air fryer, these burger cups come out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, providing a delightful textural contrast.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef, divided into 8 oz patties
• 2 oz cheese, divided (choose your favorite melting cheese)
• 2 eggs
• Bacon, crumbled
• Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Set your air fryer to 350°F (177°C).
2. Form the Beef Cups:
   • Use a small glass or a cup to shape each 8 oz portion of ground beef around, creating a cup-like shape. Make sure the walls are even to prevent breakage.
   • Press the beef around the sides and bottom of the glass to mold it, then gently remove the glass.
3. Assemble the Burger Cups:
   • Place a portion of the divided cheese at the bottom of each beef cup.
   • Carefully crack an egg into each cup, ensuring it stays within the beef walls.
   • Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the egg.
   • Top each cup with a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese.
4. Air Fry the Burger Cups:
   • Carefully place the burger cups in the air fryer basket. Make sure they do not touch to ensure even cooking.
   • Cook for 15-20 minutes or until the beef is fully cooked and the eggs reach your desired doneness. The cheese should be melted and slightly golden.
5. Serving:
   • Remove the burger cups from the air fryer using a spatula. They should be firm and hold their shape.
   • Serve immediately while hot and cheesy.

Enjoy your Air Fried Burger Cups as a delightful alternative to traditional burgers, complete with all the flavors you love, packed into a fun and convenient cup!
