I am one if those people who love a good breakfast. If I have a good breakfast, the whole day is great. I miss my breakfast, and my day is a hit or miss...I feel incomplete 🙂

The best breakfast for me is eggs! I love making eggs in different ways each day of the week. Another thing I love is adding veggies to my eggs. Get the protein from eggs, and fiber with other nutrients from the veggies. So here is my favorite, Frittata.

Frittata is basically a crustless quiche. Today was a broccoli and bell pepper kind of day. I love that frittata is a very versatile dish, you can change the mix-ins that go with the egg, and have a different taste each time.

I used to make this the traditional way, but now that I have my Philips air fryer, I have started using it to make Frittata. It is perfect, and I don't need to heat the oven. Air Fryer Frittata is perfect when cooking for 1-2, unless you have a large air fryer.

How to make Frittata in the Air Fryer?

This is a very simple recipe, with just 4 main ingredients! We start with cooking the veggies in the air fryer for about 7 minutes. Then add in the whisked eggs with seasoning, sprinkle cheese of your choice and cook for another 10 minutes.  That is all, your delicious frittata is ready.

Frittata Air Fryer

You will notice that I don't preheat the air fryer, which is why the veggies take 7 minutes initially. If you preheat, then only cook the veggies for 5 minutes.

Add the veggies you like! There are so many options - onions, spinach, kale, spring onions, cauliflower, leeks, zucchini, tomato, asparagus or mushrooms.... Or add meat of your choice. Bake the meat along with the veggies initially, so it is cooked half way and then cooks completely with the eggs. Vary the cheese you use. I used parmesan, but other cheeses go well too!

Here is a link to the baking dish I use. If your air fryer does not come with a baking dish that fits in it, you can easily find one on amazon. Another option is to use ramekins to make eggs, which have also worked perfectly for me.

I use the air fryer to bake the veggies, even if I am making omelette on the stovetop or frittata in the oven. It is just so convenient.

Frittata Air Fryer

Some things to note to make a great frittata:

  • Pre-cook the mix ins. Veggies or meat which releases moisture as cooked, will make the frittata soggy, hence it is better to pre-cook for a few minutes.
  • Mix in some cream or milk. This helps get a smooth and creamy texture.

    Hi I was wondering if you could use garden vegetable cream cheese in place of the cream and frozen broccoli in this recipe?

      Hey Divya - Frittata can be made in oven or also in a cast iron skillet. I would suggest to search some recipes to get the exact cooking time.

      Hello Mekhala - I have not tried frozen samosas in the air fryer yet. My suggestion would be to try brushing some oil on the samosad and preheat the air fryer.

    Hi Meeta, this looks delicious. I love frittatas too. I am thinking about buying an air fryer, primarily for roasting vegetables, making kale chips, crispy chickpeas, and frittatas. Do you think they work very well for that? Are you still happy with yours?
    Best,
    Stephanie

      Hey Stephanie - Yes, I am very happy with my air fryer. I use it frequently to roast veggies (some indian veggie stir fry's too). It is also easy to use in place of heating up the whole oven for small quantities. It is a bit noisy though, so want you to be aware of that. I have the philips original air fryer.
