Air Fryer Breakfast Frittata
Description
The Air Fryer Breakfast Frittata Recipe mixes whole eggs with heavy cream and grated cheddar, incorporating sliced mushrooms, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped spinach, fresh herbs, and sliced green onion seasoned with salt. The mixture is poured into a parchment-lined pan coated in oil to prevent sticking.
Cooking in the air fryer at 350°F for 12-16 minutes sets the eggs evenly with a soft but firm texture and the vegetables retain some bite. Testing doneness with a toothpick ensures the center is fully cooked. Covering the frittata with foil during baking can prevent excessive browning on top.
This frittata serves well as a hearty breakfast or brunch option. It can be varied by adding diced ham, bacon, or shredded chicken for additional protein. The recipe notes highlight the importance of lining and oiling the pan to avoid sticking and suggest using quick-cooking vegetables for best results.
