🛒 Ingredients

3 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk (optional, for fluffiness)
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese)
¼ cup chopped vegetables (bell peppers, onions, spinach, or mushrooms)

🔧 Equipment Needed

Air fryer
Small oven-safe dish or ramekin
Mixing bowl
Whisk or fork

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for about 3 minutes. Preheating helps the omelette cook evenly and prevents undercooked spots in the center.

Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk if using. Whisk thoroughly until the eggs become smooth and slightly frothy. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

The milk helps create a softer and fluffier texture, but the recipe works perfectly without it as well.

Step 3: Prepare the Dish

Lightly grease a small oven-safe dish or ramekin using cooking spray, oil, or butter. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier after cooking.

Step 4: Add the Fillings

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese, chopped vegetables, and optional cooked protein evenly over the eggs. You can gently stir once to distribute the ingredients more evenly throughout the omelette.

Avoid overfilling the dish, as too many ingredients can prevent the eggs from cooking evenly.

Step 5: Cook the Omelette

Place the dish carefully into the air fryer basket.

Temperature: 180°C (350°F)
Cooking Time: 8–10 minutes

Check the omelette at the 8-minute mark. The center should look set, and the top should be lightly golden. If the middle still appears runny, continue cooking for another 1–2 minutes.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Carefully remove the hot dish from the air fryer and allow the omelette to cool for 1–2 minutes before serving. This resting time helps the eggs firm up slightly and makes serving easier.

🔥 Tips for the Best Air Fryer Omelette

Cook at medium heat for soft, even results.
Lower temperatures help prevent the eggs from drying out.
For a softer omelette, reduce the cooking time slightly.
For a firmer texture, cook closer to 10–11 minutes.
Silicone molds work great if you don’t have ramekins.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

Serve warm with toasted bread, avocado slices, or fresh fruit. Add chopped herbs, salsa, or hot sauce for extra flavor and freshness.
