I love frittatas because they’re easy to make, and you can add as many ingredients as you like. Another delicious frittata recipe is this spinach and goat cheese frittata.
INGREDIENT NOTES
Eggs – For a lighter version, feel free to use 4 whole eggs and 2 egg whites.
Whole Milk – Any type of milk will work.
Spinach – Fresh or frozen spinach is fine just make sure to fully thaw the frozen spinach and discard any excess liquid.
Tomatoes – I used cherry tomatoes but any type of tomatoes will work.
Feta Cheese – Completely optional but adds great flavor!
TOP TIPS
Make sure to cover the frittata with aluminum foil to prevent the top from burning.
If you want your frittata to have some color, remove the foil when the frittata is halfway done.
Feel free to include ham, mushrooms, or the veggies and protein of your choice.
It’s crucial that you use greased parchment paper, so the eggs don’t stick.
Feel free to add more salt and pepper than recommended. Taste it and adjust seasoning to your liking.
HOW LONG DO I COOK IT FOR?
I cooked this at 400 degrees for a total of 23 minutes but keep in mind that every air fryer is different.
CAN I MAKE THIS IN THE OVEN INSTEAD?
Yes, of course. To make it in the oven, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and bake the frittata for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are fully set.
STORAGE
If you have any leftovers, transfer them to an air-tight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven, microwave, or air fryer.

This is the ingredient that gives frittatas their signature creamy, fluffy texture. Without this important addition, frittatas cook up flatter and a bit more dense. Follow this tip: After whisking the eggs together, be sure to whisk in some milk or cream.

If meat and vegetables figure into your frittata, cook them in the pan before you add your eggs—and I leave mine ever so slightly underdone. That way, they don't get soggy when they keep cooking in the oven (and I tend to like my vegetables with a little “bite” anyway, but it's a personal preference).
Storing: For best results, store leftover air fryer frittata slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 275°F for 3 – 5 minutes or in the microwave for 1 – 2 minutes until warm again.
Making fried egg in air fryer is a fast and easy alternative to stovetop cooking. Crispy fried eggs with creamy yokes are ready in minutes, with minimal cleanup. Eggs in air fryer use a fraction of the oil, which saves on fat and calories for a healthy protein addition to any meal.
Tough vegetables like potatoes, squash and onions need to be pre-cooked since they will not have time enough to soften before the eggs are done. Raw meats such as bacon and sausage also need more time and heat to cook through safely, so get them prepped before your other ingredients.
The best choice for making frittatas, cast iron skillets can safely go from stovetop to oven, and they conduct heat well and evenly. Seasoning a cast-iron pan gives it a non-stick quality, so a well-seasoned skillet will result in the easiest slicing & serving.
The eggs should be cooked through, not runny and a knife should come out clean when inserted into the centre. You can also give the skillet a gentle shake to determine if it is done; a runny frittata will jiggle when you shake the skillet.
If the center is still liquid, you've got to cook longer. If it's almost set, cook the frittata a few more minutes, then remove it. As long as the frittata is still in the hot pan, it will continue to cook. That's why it's important to pull the dish from the oven as soon as it reaches that "set" stage.
Milk or cream is the essential ingredient that will make your frittata rise. Cooked without either milk or cream, the frittata will be flatter and less puffy. Add the milk or cream to the eggs and whisk them together until they are fluffy.
One reason your frittata is soggy, is that an ingredient you used had water or other liquid that was released when cooking the frittata. One solution, is to drain all ingredients first before mixing, or to reheat the ingredients seperately, until the liquid is removed.
Foil is safe to use in an air fryer so long as you follow three basic rules: never let foil touch the heating element; make sure the foil is weighted so it doesn't blow around the basket; and avoid contact with acidic ingredients, which can cause the foil to leach onto your food.
Eggs won't explode in the air fryer as long as you don't cook them at too high a temperature. You might hear a cracking noise when they are in the air fryer, but they aren't exploding. How many eggs can I cook at once? This will depend on how big your air fryer is.
But besides the nutritional benefits there are a few other good reasons to use egg in breadmaking. It makes the bread lighter and fluffier. The reason for that is the fat in the yolk that inhibits gluten formation just as any other fat would. This results in a looser dough that can expand and puff up more.
