Okay, here is my post about making a Smart Ones Ham and Cheese Scramble in the air fryer:
So, the other day, I was staring into my freezer, trying to figure out what to make for a quick breakfast. I spotted a box of Smart Ones Ham and Cheese Scramble. I usually just nuke these things in the microwave, but then I thought, “Hey, why not try it in the air fryer?” I’m always up for experimenting in the kitchen.
First, I preheated my air fryer to 370 degrees Fahrenheit. While that was warming up, I took the scramble out of its box and removed the plastic film. I didn’t want any melted plastic in my food. No, thank you!
Getting It Ready
- Took the scramble out of the box
- Removed the plastic film
Next, I placed the little tray directly into the air fryer basket. I’ve heard some folks say to use parchment paper or foil, but I figured the tray it came in was good enough. It’s meant for cooking, right?
Air Frying Time
- Put the tray in the air fryer basket
I set the timer for about 10 minutes. I wasn’t sure exactly how long it would take, but I knew these things cook pretty fast in the microwave, so I figured it wouldn’t be too long in the air fryer. I decided to check on it halfway through to see how it was doing.
After about 5 minutes, I opened up the air fryer and gave the scramble a little stir. It was starting to heat up, but it definitely needed more time. I closed it back up and let it cook for another 5 minutes or so.
Checking and Stirring
- Opened the air fryer after 5 minutes
- Gave the scramble a stir
When the timer went off again, I opened the air fryer and checked the scramble. It looked pretty good! It was all heated through, and the cheese was nicely melted. It even had a little bit of browning on top, which I liked. I carefully took the tray out of the air fryer—it was hot!—and let it cool for a minute or two.
The Final Result
Finally, I dug in. And you know what? It was actually pretty tasty! The air fryer gave it a slightly different texture than the microwave. It was a little bit crispier, which I enjoyed. And the ham and cheese were just as good as always. I like that the cheese was well melted.
Overall, I’d say making the Smart Ones Ham and Cheese Scramble in the air fryer was a success! It was a fun little experiment, and I’ll probably do it again sometime. So, there you have it. If you’re looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give this a try. You might be surprised!
