Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, etc.)
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing and finely dicing the vegetables. Chop bell peppers and onions into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 eggs and whisk them thoroughly. Add milk, salt, and pepper, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick air fryer-safe pan or dish that fits inside your air fryer. Sauté the diced vegetables for 2-3 minutes until they become slightly softened and fragrant.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables, ensuring an even distribution. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly across the top of the mixture.
- Place the pan into the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer temperature to 325°F (165°C) and cook for 12-15 minutes, checking occasionally to prevent overcooking.
- The frittata is done when the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. Insert a toothpick in the center - it should come out clean.
- Remove the frittata from the air fryer and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. This allows the eggs to settle and makes cutting easier.
- Slice into 4 equal portions and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added flavor.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, chop your vegetables the night before and store them in the fridge. This way, you can simply whisk your eggs and get cooking in no time!
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to get creative with your vegetable choices. Spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms can add unique flavors and textures to your frittata.
- Cheese Choices: Experiment with different types of cheese! Feta, goat cheese, or pepper jack can add a delicious twist to your frittata.
- Don’t Overcrowd: Make sure your air fryer pan is not overcrowded with ingredients. This ensures even cooking and that your frittata rises beautifully.
- Check for Doneness: Air fryers can vary in temperature, so keep an eye on your frittata as it cooks. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, your frittata is ready!
- Garnish for Flavor: Enhance the presentation and taste by garnishing your frittata with fresh herbs like chives or parsley before serving.
- Leftovers: This frittata can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the air fryer for a quick and satisfying breakfast on the go!
