For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dash of smoked paprika to the yolk mixture. If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of hot sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the egg mixture. Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket, cook in batches if needed to achieve maximum crispiness. These are best served immediately after air frying to enjoy the contrast in textures.
