grated cheesecan be grated or in slices, I use mature cheddar cheese or sometimes brie or camembert (but do play with all sorts of cheeses)
breadcrumbstotally optional, I just tend to always have some homemade ones in the freezer (use from frozen)

Instructions
Layer all ingredients in oven-proof metallic mini pudding basins or dariole moulds or ramekins. Note: you can use ramekins but the heat takes longer to get through them so you need to increase the time by about 2 minutes
I tend to grease the pots with a drop of olive oil that I spread around with a silicone brush, but it’s not strictly necessary if they’re non-stick.
I always put the eggs at the bottom unless I put a slice of ham or tomato at the bottom.
Instant Vortex and air fryers that have built-in preheating time before countdown: 6 minutes at 180°C / 355 F.
Cosori and air fryers that don’t have a built-in preheating time: 8 minutes at 180°C / 355 F.
Eat immediately or the egg yolk will keep cooking. Which is actually great if you have people at home who don’t want a runny yolk, make them all at the same time and leave theirs to rest without using extra electricity.
Want it runnier? Undercook by about a minute.

Notes
Play with the ingredients:❤️ Remove the ham or the chorizo and just add the egg and the cheese. ❤️ Add a pinch of paprika or zaatar. ❤️ How about bacon?❤️ You could even use leftovers! Leftover chicken for example. Or leftover veg.I love them with the bread crumbs as it gives them a bit of crunch but you don’t need to add them. As you can see, the “ham nest” burnt on the outside but the bits that were covered by the other ingredients were totally fine. So food for thought there, literally.
