Prep the Components

If using bacon, place strips in the air fryer basket at 350°F for 4-6 minutes until partially crisp. Remove and set aside. Grease 2 silicone cupcake liners or small ramekins. Pour the beaten egg mixture into each, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Place English muffin halves cut-side up, egg cups, and sausage patties (if raw or frozen) in the air fryer basket. Cook at 325°F for 7 minutes.
Carefully remove egg cups, flip patties if using sausage, and brush muffin halves with melted butter or mayonnaise.

Assemble and Finish

Place cooked meat and eggs on muffin bottoms, top with cheese slice each.
Return assembled sandwiches to air fryer at 350°F for 2-3 minutes until cheese melts and muffins are golden.
Top with muffin tops and serve immediately.

Notes

For meal prep, assemble sandwiches without cheese, wrap in foil, and store in fridge up to 4 days. Reheat at 375°F for 4-6 minutes until hot. Use mayo on muffins for extra crispness. Customize with vegan options like plant-based patty and cheese.
