Ingredients
Omelette Base
- 1-2 teaspoons butter
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream or whole milk
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh herbs (basil, thyme, cilantro) – chopped plus more for garnish
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream or whole milk, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 300°F (150°C) and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Grease the Cooking Dish: Lightly grease a round, oven-safe dish or small pan that fits inside your air fryer basket with butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour and Add Cheese: Pour the egg mixture into the greased dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the eggs.
- Cook the Omelette: Carefully place the dish inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 300°F (150°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the omelette from the air fryer. Garnish with additional chopped fresh herbs if desired, then serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can substitute the shredded cheese with your favorite type like cheddar, mozzarella, or feta.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model and the thickness of the omelette.
- For additional flavor, add diced vegetables or cooked bacon before air frying.
- Use fresh herbs for the best aroma and taste.
- Cover the oven-safe dish loosely with foil if the top is browning too quickly while cooking.
