Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
- This helps the omelette cook evenly.
- In a bowl, whisk together:
- Eggs
- Milk or cream
- Salt
- Pepper
- Whisk until the yolks and whites are fully blended and slightly frothy.
- This creates a lighter texture.
- Grease your oven-safe dish or ramekin with butter or oil.
- Make sure to coat the sides as well to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish.
- Sprinkle your desired fillings evenly across the top.
- Popular combinations include:
- Cheese + spinach
- Ham + cheese
- Mushroom + onion
- Bell pepper + cheddar
- Do not overfill, or the omelette may cook unevenly.
- Place the dish carefully into the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes .
- The omelette is ready when:
- The center is set
- The top looks puffed
- No liquid egg remains
- If needed, cook 1–2 extra minutes.
- Let the omelette rest for 1 minute after cooking.
- This helps it firm up and makes removal easier.
- Use a spatula to loosen edges and slide onto a plate.
- Fold if desired and garnish with herbs, cheese, or hot sauce.
- Serve immediately.
