How To Make Air Fryer Vegetable Omelet
Step One: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well beaten—slowly, add in cream, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step Two: Stir in the diced bell peppers, sliced onions, and shredded cheese into the beaten eggs. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Step Three: Spray your ramekin or casserole dish with cooking spray. Then, pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish.
Step Four: Place the dish into the air fryer basket and set temperature to 350 degrees F (175°C) and set cook time for 10-12 minutes. Cooking times may vary based on your specific air fryer model, so keep an eye on the omelet. In the last couple of minutes, spread the rest of the cheese on top.
Easy Air Fryer Vegetable Omelet Recipe Tips
- Prep ingredients in advance: Chop your vegetables and shred cheese before starting to make cooking smooth and fast.
- Don’t overcrowd the dish: Make sure the eggs and veggies have room to cook evenly in the air fryer.
- Check doneness: Cooking times vary by air fryer model; the omelet is done when eggs are set in the center and slightly golden on top.
- Add toppings late: Sprinkle extra cheese or fresh herbs in the last 1–2 minutes of cooking for the best flavor and texture.
- Mix-ins: Swap bell peppers and onions for mushrooms, spinach, or cooked sausage to suit your taste.
Storing Instructions
- Refrigerator: Store leftover omelet in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Microwave for 30–60 seconds or warm in the air fryer at 325°F until heated through.
- Freezing: Cut into individual portions and wrap tightly in plastic wrap or foil; freeze up to 1 month. Reheat from frozen in the air fryer or microwave.
