Here’s a quick and fluffy Air Fryer Omelette recipe — light, customizable, and perfect for a protein-packed breakfast or brunch with minimal cleanup.
🍳 Air Fryer Omelette
Ingredients (Base):
- 2–3 large eggs
- 2 tbsp milk or water (optional, for fluffiness)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or oil (for greasing)
Optional Fillings:
- 1–2 tbsp chopped bell peppers
- 1–2 tbsp chopped onions
- 1–2 tbsp cooked ham, bacon, or sausage
- 1–2 tbsp shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, etc.)
- Spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, jalapeños — whatever you like!
Instructions:
- Preheat air fryer:
Preheat to 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes. - Prepare the egg mixture:
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined and frothy. - Add fillings:
Stir in your favorite omelette add-ins. (Precook meats and sauté dense veggies like onions or mushrooms for best texture.) - Grease your pan:
Lightly grease a small oven-safe dish, ramekin, or silicone baking mold that fits your air fryer basket. (A 6″ round or mini loaf pan works well.) - Pour & cook:
Pour the egg mixture into the dish. Place it in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8–12 minutes, depending on thickness and your air fryer model. - Check doneness:
The omelette should be puffed, golden, and set in the center. If it jiggles or looks undercooked, add 1–2 more minutes. - Serve:
Slide out gently, garnish with herbs or extra cheese, and enjoy hot!
💡 Tips:
- For a lighter option, use egg whites or a mix of whole eggs and whites.
- You can prep multiple omelettes in silicone muffin cups for mini omelette bites.
- Serve with toast, avocado, or salsa for a full meal.
