How To Make Air Fryer Cheese Omelette

Whisked eggs in a small bowl with salt and pepper sprinkled on top, ready to cook.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to around 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 3-5 minutes.

Prepare the Eggs: In a small bowl, crack the desired eggs and whisk them until well combined. Season them with salt and black pepper to taste.

Pour into the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly grease a pan with nonstick cooking spray or a few drops of oil to prevent sticking. Pour the beaten eggs into the prepared pan, ensuring they spread out evenly.

Add Fillings: Sprinkle your chosen fillings evenly over the eggs. This could include shredded cheese, diced vegetables, cooked meats, or herbs.

Place omelet in the baking pan and place into the air fryer basket.

Cook: Place the pan into the preheated air fryer. Cook the omelet for about 8-10 minutes or until it is set and cooked through. You may need to adjust the cooking time slightly depending on the thickness of your omelet and the temperature of your air fryer.

Serve: Once the omelet is cooked to your liking, carefully remove it from the air fryer basket using tongs or a spatula. Slide it onto a plate and serve immediately while it’s hot and fluffy. Before serving, garnish your air fryer omelet with additional toppings like fresh herbs, sour cream, salsa, or avocado slices.
