  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream or whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese
  • 1/4 cup petite tomatoes (about 8 cherry or grape), halved
  • 1/4 cup green onions (about 2 small), sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 5 large eggs, heavy whipping cream (or whole milk), ground pepper, and salt until well combined and slightly frothy. This mixture forms the base of your frittata, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
  2. Add Cheese and Vegetables: Gently fold in the shredded cheese, halved tomatoes, and sliced green onions into the egg mixture. Make sure they are evenly distributed for consistent flavor throughout the frittata.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for about 3-5 minutes. This step helps the frittata cook evenly from the start.
  4. Prepare the Air Fryer-safe Dish: Lightly grease an oven-safe dish or pan that fits inside your air fryer basket. Pour the egg mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly.
  5. Cook the Frittata: Place the dish carefully inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be lightly golden.
  6. Cool and Serve: Once cooked, remove the frittata from the air fryer and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice into wedges and serve warm, perhaps with a side of fresh fruit or toast.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream with whole milk or a milk alternative like almond milk for a lighter option.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables, such as spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms, to customize your frittata.
  • Ensure your air fryer-safe dish fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket before cooking.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model; start checking doneness around 12 minutes.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the air fryer or microwave.
