Fluffy Veggie Air Fryer Frittata (Printable)

Protein-rich frittata loaded with fresh vegetables, cooked to golden perfection in an air fryer.

# What's Needed:

→ Egg Mixture

01 - 6 large eggs
02 - 1/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)

→ Vegetables

06 - 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
07 - 1/2 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
08 - 1/3 cup red bell pepper, diced
09 - 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
10 - 1/4 cup zucchini, diced

→ Cheese

11 - 1/3 cup crumbled feta or shredded cheddar (optional)

→ Oil

12 - 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing pan)

# How to Make It:

01 - Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs in a medium bowl until smooth and fully combined.
02 - Add cherry tomatoes, spinach, bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and cheese (if using) to the egg mixture. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
03 - Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
04 - Brush a 7-inch round, oven-safe pan or cake tin with olive oil to prevent sticking.
05 - Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared pan. Place in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F for 12-15 minutes until set in the center and golden on top.
06 - Allow the frittata to cool for 2 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.

# Tips for Success:

01 -
  • You can have a wholesome homemade breakfast on the table in under 30 minutes with almost zero active cooking time
  • The air fryer creates this incredible texture thats fluffy inside with just the right amount of golden crispness around the edges
  • Its endlessly adaptable based on whatever vegetables are languishing in your crisper drawer
02 -
  • Using an oven safe pan is non negotiable because plastic or handles with metal parts can melt or create dangerous situations in the air fryer
  • Every air fryer runs differently so start checking at 12 minutes because an overcooked frittata becomes rubbery and sad
  • The frittata will puff up dramatically while cooking then settle slightly as it cools which is completely normal
03 -
  • Cut vegetables into uniform small pieces so they cook evenly and you get every flavor in each bite
  • Let the frittata rest for those full 2 minutes because slicing too soon makes it fall apart and lose its beautiful shape
