Steps:
- Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 275 degrees F. Add the bread cubes to the air-fryer basket (it's okay if they're not in a single layer). Air-fry until completely dry and lightly golden, tossing halfway through, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon into small pieces, until lightly browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the celery, garlic, shallot, sage, thyme, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in the chicken broth and cook until warmed through, about 1 minutes, using a wooden spoon to scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat.
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then add the bread cubes and warm sausage mixture. Toss until the bread is nicely saturated and the mixture is well combined.

HOW TO COOK SAUSAGE PATTIES IN THE AIR FRYER
This is not a recipe but more of a how-to for fresh sausage patties in the air fryer. The sausage makes its own grease so no oil is necessary.

Tips for Cooking Sausage in an Air Fryer
While air fryer sausage recipes are generally quite simple, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure success:
- Don't overcrowd the basket – leave enough space around the sausage to allow for proper air circulation.
- Flip the sausage halfway through cooking to ensure it's evenly browned on both sides.
- Check the internal temperature of the sausage with a meat thermometer to ensure it's fully cooked (at least 165 degrees F).
