Ingredients You’ll Need

Base:

• 6 large eggs
• ¼ cup milk or heavy cream
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Veggies (mix and match your favorites!):

• ½ cup chopped spinach
• ½ cup diced bell peppers (any color)
• ¼ cup diced onions
• ¼ cup shredded zucchini (optional)
• ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Add-Ins:

• ¼ cup grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Optional: pinch of paprika, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Veggies

Chop your vegetables into small, even pieces. Lightly sauté them in a skillet with olive oil for 2–3 minutes to soften and release flavor. (This step is optional but enhances taste and texture.)

Step 2: Mix the Egg Base

In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Add in your cheese and cooked vegetables. Stir gently to combine.

Step 3: Pour into the Air Fryer Pan

Lightly grease an air fryer-safe cake pan, baking dish, or silicone mold. Pour in the egg and veggie mixture, spreading evenly.

💡 Tip: You can also use small ramekins for individual servings — perfect for meal prep or brunch parties.

Step 4: Air Fry

Place the pan in your air fryer basket.
Cook at 320°F (160°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden.

To check doneness, insert a toothpick — if it comes out clean, your frittata is ready!

Step 5: Cool, Slice & Serve

Let the frittata cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with herbs or extra cheese.

FAQ (People Also Ask)

Can I use an air fryer accessory pan for the breakfast frittata?

Yes! An air fryer-safe cake pan or silicone baking dish works perfectly. Just ensure there’s enough airflow around the sides for even cooking.

Could I make this casserole in small ramekins?

Absolutely. Divide the egg mixture into greased ramekins and air fry for 10–12 minutes. They make great individual portions for brunch or meal prep!

Can I line the air fryer basket with foil vs. parchment paper?

Both work, but parchment paper is preferred—it prevents sticking and allows airflow. If using foil, avoid covering the entire basket to keep heat circulating properly.

Can I add meat to this frittata?

Definitely! Add cooked bacon, ham, sausage, or even smoked salmon for a protein-packed twist.
