Why should you try an Air Fryer Frittata?

1. Perfect texture: Cooking a frittata in an air fryer gives it an unbeatable golden finish and fluffy interior. Compared to the oven version, the air fryer creates a more consistent texture and caramelizes the edges just enough to elevate the flavor.
2. Less oil: You’ll use significantly less oil—or none at all—when cooking in an air fryer. Plus, you can load up on nutritious veggies and lean proteins to make this dish as light or filling as you want.
3. Perfect for busy mornings: Prep your ingredients, whisk everything together, pop it in the air fryer, and let it cook while you brew your coffee or get ready for the day. It’s a minimal-effort breakfast that feels indulgent but fits into even the busiest routines.
4. Breakfast on the go: The parchment paper creates a natural wrapping, making it easy to slice and take with you.

Ingredients:

• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup skim milk (60 ml)
• 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper (75 g)
• 1/2 cup diced smoked low-fat turkey ham (75 g)
• 1/4 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese (30 g)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.5 g)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (1 g)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes. Line the basket with a reusable air fryer liner or parchment paper. Cut two squares of parchment paper and layer them for extra support. This will prevent sticking and make it easier to lift the frittata out after cooking.
2. Mix the eggs: In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Add the skim milk to the eggs and whisk again. 
3. Prepare the filling: Dice the red bell pepper into small, even-sized pieces. Do the same with the smoked turkey ham. Add the diced bell pepper, turkey ham, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper to the egg mixture. Stir everything together to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
4. Pour the mixture into the air fryer: Carefully pour the mixture into the lined air fryer basket. Spread it out evenly with a spatula, ensuring the filling is distributed throughout.
5. Cook the frittata: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 15 minutes. Check at the 12-minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the frittata is ready. If not, cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
6. Cool and serve: Allow the frittata to cool in the air fryer basket for 3–5 minutes. This will make it easier to handle and allow the flavors to settle. Using the parchment paper, carefully lift the frittata out of the basket and place it on a cutting board. Slice into four equal portions.

Variations and Substitutions

The air fryer frittata is an incredibly versatile dish. While eggs are an essential component, the remaining ingredients can be modified to be customized to individual liking.

1. Vegetables: Red bell peppers are a classic choice, but you can mix it up with green peppers, tomatoes, onions, scallions, mushrooms, or even a handful of sweet corn kernels. The trick is to chop everything into small, even pieces for consistent cooking.
2. Cheeses: From low-fat ricotta to meltable mozzarella, cheese can completely change the flavor.  If you’re tracking points (Weight Watchers style), stick to lighter options, but don’t be afraid to experiment with sharper flavors like Parmesan.
3. Proteins: Cubed turkey or chicken ham works beautifully, but lean sausages can also be great additions. Just keep an eye on portion sizes if you’re counting calories.
4. Seasonings: Keep it simple with salt, white or black pepper, and maybe a pinch of garlic powder. The goal is to enhance the flavors of the eggs and fillings without overpowering them.

Tips and Tricks for Making Air Fryer Frittata

1. Preheat your air fryer: Spend a few minutes preheating your air fryer while you chop and prep your ingredients. This helps ensure even cooking.
2. Use liners or silicone molds: An air fryer liner or a silicone mold that fits your basket can make clean-up even easier. Lightly spray them with oil to prevent sticking.
3. Cut ingredients evenly: Chop all veggies and proteins into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly and don’t disrupt the texture of the frittata.
4. Add volume with beaten egg whites: For an extra-fluffy frittata, separate the eggs and beat the whites until they form soft peaks before folding them into the yolks and other ingredients.
5. Let it rest before slicing: Allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up slightly, making it easier to cut and serve.
