5 quick and easy Air Fryer breakfasts to try this Summer

When summer arrives, the last thing most of us want to do is stand over a hot stove. That’s where the air fryer really earns its place on the bench. Fast, efficient and perfect for warm mornings, it can turn out a satisfying breakfast in minutes – with very little effort.

Whether you’re cooking for one, feeding visiting family, or simply looking for something lighter during the warmer months, these five quick and easy air fryer breakfasts are ideal for Australian summer days.

1. Air Fryer Bacon and Egg Cups

A simple, protein-packed breakfast that feels a little special.

Line small ramekins or silicone cups with bacon, crack an egg into each, season lightly and air fry at 180°C for 6–8 minutes, depending on how runny you like your yolk. Serve with toast or fresh fruit.

2. Air Fryer Breakfast Wraps

Perfect for busy mornings or when guests are staying.

Fill a wrap with scrambled egg, chopped ham or bacon, grated cheese and spinach. Roll tightly and air fry at 190°C for 5–7 minutes until golden and crisp.

3. Air Fryer Mushrooms on Toast

Light, healthy and full of flavour.

Toss sliced mushrooms with olive oil, garlic and herbs. Air fry at 180°C for 6–8 minutes until tender. Serve on toast with avocado or a soft egg for a fresh summer breakfast.

4. Air Fryer Banana and Oat Breakfast Cakes

Great for make-ahead breakfasts or an easy morning snack.

Mix mashed banana with oats, a little honey and cinnamon. Spoon into small moulds and air fry at 170°C for 10–12 minutes until set. Serve warm or store in the fridge for the week.

5. Air Fryer Sausage and Tomato Tray

A simple twist on a classic cooked breakfast – without heating the kitchen.

Place sausages and halved tomatoes in the air fryer basket, drizzle with olive oil and season. Cook at 180°C for 10–12 minutes, turning once. Add toast or eggs if you wish.

The air fryer makes summer breakfasts easy, quick and far less hot work than traditional cooking. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, you can enjoy a satisfying start to the day – and spend more time enjoying the sunshine.
