There is nothing better in the morning than an Air Fryer Ham And Cheese Omelette, which is amazing. Filled with diced ham and Swiss cheese, it made for a great and healthy start for a Monday morning.
If you love scrambled eggs, you will love this, and you can add any other fillings. I went with a traditional air-fried ham and cheese omelet, which I have wanted to make for some time. It is my favorite, and I always order it when we go out for breakfast.
So, if you have been looking for easy, family-friendly, and budget-friendly breakfast ideas, this will soon be one of your favorites. If you feed more than yourself, you can easily double, triple, or even quadruple this recipe.
My secret is to watch the air fryer, and in the last 1-2 minutes, add some extra cheese, stand right near the air fryer, so you can take it out the minute the cheese melts, for some extra goodness. And if you are on KETO or doing a low-carb lifestyle, this is great!

Can I use different types of cheese? Yes, you can use your favorite cheese or a combination of cheeses to customize the flavor of your omelet.
How do I prevent the omelet from sticking to the air fryer basket? Before adding the beaten eggs, grease the basket well with cooking spray or oil.
Can I add other ingredients to the omelet? Absolutely! You can personalize your omelet with various ingredients like vegetables, herbs, or cooked meats.
How do I know when the omelet is done? It is done when the eggs are set and no longer runny. You can check for doneness by gently shaking the air fryer basket or inserting a toothpick into the center of the omelet—if it comes out clean, it is ready.
Can I make the omelet ahead of time and reheat it? While it’s best to enjoy the omelette fresh, you can make it ahead of time and reheat it in the air fryer for a quick breakfast or snack. Just be sure not to overcook it during reheating to prevent it from drying out.
