Easy Air Fryer Frittata

🍳 How to Make the Frittata in the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F).
  2. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl.
  3. Add the chopped peppers, red onion, bacon, cheese, and seasonings to the eggs. Mix everything thoroughly.
  4. Line a tin tray or silicone liner that fits inside your air fryer basket.
  5. Pour in the mixture and gently spread it out evenly.
  6. Air fry for 15 minutes at 200°C until the top is golden and firm to the touch.
  7. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

🧠 Pro Tips

  • Use pre-cooked bacon to cut down prep time and ensure crispy bites.
  • Don’t overfill your tray – keep the mixture about 1 inch deep for even cooking.
  • Want extra fluff? Add a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before whisking.
  • Check doneness with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, it’s cooked through.

🥗 Serving Suggestions

  • Serve hot straight from the air fryer like a crustless omelette
  • Chill and serve cold with a bistro-style salad (think arugula, cherry tomatoes, vinaigrette)
  • Pack in lunchboxes, serve at brunch, or slice into wedges for a high-protein snack

🍴 Variations to Try

  • Veggie Frittata: Skip bacon and load up on mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini
  • Greek Style: Add olives, crumbled feta, and a touch of oregano
  • Tex-Mex Twist: Toss in jalapeños, black beans, and taco seasoning
  • Cheese Lovers: Mix cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan for extra cheesiness

🔁 Storage & Reheating

  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days
  • Reheat in the air fryer at 160°C (320°F) for 2–3 minutes or microwave for 30 seconds
  • Freeze in slices for up to 2 months—just thaw and reheat when ready
