I wanted to make a happy, healthy and pretty breakfast dish over this long Vesak Day weekend. With 3 ingredients (eggs, potato, grated cheese), I came up with this fun dish using the airfryer: eggs in potato-cheese boat! 

So here's my recipe. Instead of scrambled egg fillings in the boat, feel free to make sunny side-up or mashed boiled egg. You can add even avocados for an even healthier dish. Have fun!

Potato-Cheese Boat Recipe

Directions

1. Preheat airfryer at 200 degrees for 5 min.

2. Using a potato peeler, slice the potato into thin pieces. 

3. Add seasoning and oil. Mix well. (The oil also ensures that the potato slices don't fly around the airfryer in Step #5).

4. Brush oil on the sides of the ramekins (or small bowls). Arrange the potato slices into an open-nest shape. 

Tips: Ensure that there are no gaps, as you don't want the eggs to fall through later.

5. Airfry at 200 degrees for 7 min, until it is lightly brown.

6. Open the airfryer basket. Add the grated cheese into the potato-boats. Airfry at 170 degrees for 3 min to melt the cheese and seal the potato together.

7. Cool the ramekins. Using a knife, gently scrape the sides of the bowl to release the boat from the bowl.

I used 4 eggs to fill 5 potato-boats.

Arrange the eggs into the potato-boat. You are ready to serve! :)

This potato cheese boat was made by my really good friend, Estelle using airfryer! 

The paprika seasoning makes it look oh-so-yummy.

My mother-in-law wanted me to share a new healthy dish for dinner made using the airfryer and the immediate thought that crossed my mind was omelette. Eggs are cheap and high in protein (read more about the benefits here), but we often shun them because of the fear of high cholesterol. I strongly believe in eating in moderation, so if the family shares the dish together, that should be alright.

To make this healthier, I decided to have tofu, mushrooms and onions go along with the eggs. This vegetarian dish was indeed really nutrition packed: 

3. Place the sliced tofu and mushrooms on the pan.

4. After seasoning the beaten egg, pour into the pan as well.

5. Airfry at 180 degrees for 25 min. Open every 6 - 8 min to poke and make sure that the inner layer of the egg is well-cooked.

Btw, I like that I didn't have to wash another wok. I can just serve using the same pan that went into the airfryer. Yippee!

Saturday morning breakfast. Think scrambled eggs and Big Breakfast - and laziness. Here was my easy-peasy version.

Recipe

 

2. Preheat airfryer at 140 degrees for 5 min. Drop the butter in a bowl. Place it in the preheated airfryer to melt it.

3. When the butter is melted, tilt the bowl all around to spread the butter out evenly around the base and sides.

4. Pour the beaten egg into the bowl. Set to 140 degrees Celcius for 10 min. If you would like other ingredients in your eggs, e.g. mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese, drop them in at this point.

5. Open the airfryer basket every few minutes to whisk continuously until the egg becomes fluffy and yellow. Most of the time, I prefer to have my eggs still runny. :) 

Tips: Make sure your airfryer is placed such that the basket can rest on the kitchen top if needed.

Do toast some bread and place the scrambled eggs on top. And here you have it - easy egg on toast with milk. Super yummy and nutritious!
