Air Fryer Omelette

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 8–10 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

4 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup diced bell pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
¼ cup diced cooked chicken, turkey, or ham, optional
1 tablespoon chopped green onions or parsley
Cooking spray or melted butter

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes.
Lightly grease a small, air-fryer-safe baking dish or cake pan that fits comfortably inside your air-fryer basket.
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until thoroughly combined and slightly frothy.
Stir in the bell pepper, onion, optional cooked meat, half of the shredded cheese, and chopped green onions or parsley.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
Carefully place the dish inside the air-fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Check after 7 minutes because cooking times can vary between air-fryer models. Add another 1–2 minutes if the center is still runny.
Let the omelette rest for 2 minutes. Loosen the edges with a spatula, transfer it to a plate, and serve warm.

Tips

Dice the vegetables finely so they cook quickly.
Avoid adding too many watery vegetables, as they can make the omelette soggy.
Sauté mushrooms or spinach first to remove excess moisture.
Use only fully cooked meat in the omelette.
The eggs should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Storage

Allow leftovers to cool completely, then refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 320°F for 2–3 minutes or microwave briefly until hot.
