Tender and rich and with a cheese topping, these air fryer eggy crumpets take minutes to make a bake and taste amazing.
I like to serve them for breakfast with avocado and air fried tomatoes, but they're also great for brunch, lunch or as a snack at any time of day.
Making these air fryer eggy crumpets is super simple.
You'll just whisk eggs, milk and a pinch of seasoning in a large bowl and then give the crumpets a bath in the mixture until it's been completely absorbed.
You'll then pop the crumpets into your air fryer, top with a nice sharp cheddar and a little parsley and bake until bubbling and golden.
The whole recipe is so quick, it's hardly a recipe at all! With 5 minutes prep time and 10 minutes to cook, you'll be serving up breakfast in no time.

You will need to turn the crumpets a few times to ensure they're evenly soaked.

Sprinkle the cheese on top of each one.
Then sprinkle some parsley.
Set the air fryer to 160C/320F and bake for 10 minutes, until bubbly.
Serve hot and fresh!
I find one crumpet is usually enough for kids, while I can usually manage two, alongside some other breakfast items such as avocado and grilled tomato halves.
Look at that gorgeously juice inner crumb.
Those in my family with a taste for chilli (myself included!) also love to drizzle these air fryer eggy crumpets generously with sriracha, which really does take them to the next level.
How ever you decide to serve them, I'm certain you'll be delighted with the results.
