IHOP Cheeseburger Omelette Recipe Tips

  • Use fully cooked beef – Browning the ground beef first ensures it’s juicy and safe to eat while keeping the omelette cooking time short.
  • Whisk eggs thoroughly – Properly beaten eggs create a light, fluffy omelette that holds the toppings without collapsing.
  • Layer strategically – Place hashbrowns, beef, and cheese evenly so each bite has balanced flavor and texture.
  • Check your air fryer settings – Air fryer temperatures vary, so start with 350°F and adjust cook times as needed to avoid overcooking.
  • Customize toppings – Add sautéed onions, bell peppers, or extra cheese to make it your own signature brunch dish.

Storing and Reheating Instructions

  • Storing Instructions: Allow the IHOP Cheeseburger Omelette to cool completely before storing. Place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating Instructions: Reheat the omelette in the air fryer at 325°F for 3–5 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, microwave on medium power for 1–2 minutes, checking to avoid overcooking.
