Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables & Cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
Optional Protein
- 1/4 cup chopped cooked bacon or ham (optional)
Others
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Add vegetables and cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced red bell pepper, chopped spinach, chopped green onion, and the optional cooked bacon or ham, ensuring an even distribution throughout the egg mixture.
- Prepare the baking dish: Lightly spray a 6- to 7-inch round, oven-safe baking dish or cake pan with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour and preheat: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (if your model requires preheating).
- Cook the frittata: Place the baking dish in the air fryer basket and cook at 320°F for 12 to 15 minutes. Cook until the center is fully set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Rest and serve: Remove the frittata from the air fryer and let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing into portions and serving warm.
Notes
- Customize this frittata by adding any vegetables or cheese you enjoy, such as zucchini, mushrooms, or feta.
- This recipe is a great way to use leftover cooked meats or roasted vegetables.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute with plant-based milk and omit the cheese or use dairy-free cheese options.
