How to Make Air Fryer Omelette

- Step 1: Prep your omelette ingredients. You can do this in the morning or the night before.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then stir in the diced vegetables.
- Step 3: Pour the egg mixture into a well-greased 6"x3" pan. Place the pan into the basket of the air fryer. Cook at 350º Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes. Halfway through cooking, sprinkle the seasoning and cheese over the eggs.

Helpful Tips
- Chop Extra Ingredients: I like to cut up enough veggies for two mornings worth of omelettes when I prep my ingredients so I can make these even quicker the second day.
- Baking Pan: A lot of air fryers come with baking pans, but if yours didn't, this 6"x3" pan works wonderfully.
- Even Cooking: Ensure even cooking and a fluffy texture by mixing the eggs and milk thoroughly before adding the veggies. This ensures that the eggs are evenly distributed throughout the omelette mixture, resulting in a uniform texture. Grease the pan well to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the omelette once cooked.
- Seasoning: Enhance the flavor of your air fryer omelette by adding a sprinkle of your favorite herb and spice blend halfway through cooking. This simple step infuses the eggs and vegetables with savory, aromatic notes, creating a perfectly balanced and flavorful breakfast.
Recipe FAQs
Yes, be sure to grease your baking dish with oil or a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup. Keep in mind that premade sprays like Pam can sometimes damage the coating on your air fryer basket, so consider using a spritz of oil from a refillable spray bottle instead.
Your omelette will be fluffy, firm, with no more runny egg when it's done. You can check the center with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the omelette is cooked through. The edges should also slightly pull away from the sides of the dish.
Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, you may or may not be able to use a larger baking dish for your omelette. If you want to make an omelette with multiple servings, I highly suggest trying my oven baked omelette.
Serve this omelette with a side of bacon, fresh fruit or toast. You can also serve it with a slice of my sheet pan pancakes!
