This quick and easy Air Fryer Omelette is packed with ham, cheese, and fresh veggies. It’s a no-flip, no-mess omelette that takes only 10 minutes to cook. Perfect for busy mornings or a hassle-free lunch, the air fryer makes cooking omelettes so simple without the need for pans or flipping. Once you try this method, you’ll never want to make omelettes any other way.
The air fryer omelette is similar to a frittata, where ingredients are mixed into the egg mixture rather than folded. This makes it fluffy and easy to prepare.
Ingredients:-
- Eggs: Use fresh eggs for the best flavor.
- Milk: Any milk will work (dairy or plant-based). You can also use water.
- Cheese: Grated cheddar or Monterey Jack works best.
- Ham: Use a small amount of diced ham.
- Bell Pepper: Any color will do.
- Green Onion: For extra flavor and color.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Add small slices on top for a burst of flavor.
- Salt and Pepper: For seasoning
How to Make an Air Fryer Omelette
- Prepare the Tray: Lightly spray an 8-inch silicone tray with cooking spray.
- Whisk Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together eggs and a splash of milk (or water). Use a fork to whisk vigorously until frothy. This helps make the omelette light and fluffy.
- Mix Ingredients: Add diced ham, bell pepper, green onions, spinach, and grated cheese to the egg mixture. Season with salt and pepper, then stir well.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Pour the egg mixture into the silicone tray and level it with a fork. Top with sliced cherry tomatoes.
- Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 340°F for a few minutes. Carefully place the silicone tray into the air fryer basket. Air fry for 9-12 minutes. Check at 9 minutes by lifting the edge gently to see if it’s fully cooked. If still runny, cook for 2-3 more minutes.
- Serve: Once cooked, carefully lift the omelette from the silicone tray using a spatula and slide it onto a plate. Serve immediately.
What to Serve With It:
- For breakfast: Serve with avocado, cooked bacon, or hash browns.
- For lunch: Pair with a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Storage and Reheating:
If you have leftovers, store the omelette in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 45 seconds until warm.
Ideas for Extra Fillings:
You can customize your omelette with various fillings, such as:
- Mushrooms
- Bacon or sausage
- Soft cheeses like feta or goat cheese
- Leftover veggies like zucchini or asparagus
- Taco fillings for a Mexican twist
