    Fluffy air fryer omelette recipe

    Air fryer omelette is one of my favorite breakfast recipes to make. I like that it is easily adaptable based of the various fillings you’d love in your eggs. We love to use air fried bacon bits, leftover ham, cheese, milk vegetarian including mushrooms.

    If you are wondering if you can actually make an omelet in an air fryer, read along and I’ll show you in easy steps how we do it. This is a perfect air fryer recipe for college students and one kids would love as well.

    This recipe and technique works in any air fryer from the Cosori 5.8qt, Cosori dual blaze instant vortex, Gourmia to the Ninja air fryer. The only thing you might need to do is adjust timing as some air fryers tend to cook hotter than some.

    Why this recipe works

    • It's quick and easy to make, perfect for a busy morning.
    • The air fryer makes the omelette fluffy and moist.
    • It's a healthy breakfast option as it uses less oil.
    • You can customize it with any fillings you like, making it versatile and perfect for picky eaters. This is a great way to use up leftover ham, chicken or Turkey.
    • It's a great option for people who live in small apartments, RVs or dorm rooms without a stove.

    Ingredients

    • Eggs
    • Onions
    • Ham chunks, bacon bits or any meat of your choice (optional)
    • Bell peppers
    • Milk
    • Pepper flakes
    • Cheese (optional)
    • Black pepper

    How long to cook omelette in an air fryer

    As always air fryers differ in how they cook so the length of time it takes to cook an omelette in that air fryer can depend on certain factors which include temperature you cook, if preheated or not, the quantity of eggs being cooked.

    My air fryer omelette typically gets ready in 8 to 10 mins at 350°F without preheating. To ensure that the omelette is fully cooked and not undercooked or overcooked, keep an eye on it and check it by inserting a toothpick and if it comes out clean then it’s ready,

    Alternatively use a digital thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the omelette reaches at least 160°F (71°C)

    How to make air fryer omelette

    This is an overview of the recipe with step by step photos. Scroll down to the end of this post for a printable recipe card with the amount of ingredients and full recipe instructions.

    In a medium-sized bowl, crack eggs add milk, salt, pepper diced ham, onions and vegetables. Whisk all ingredients to combine.

    Pour the mixture into a greased 6 inch baking pan. Cook in the air fryer at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, or until the omelette is cooked through.

    Serve hot with your favorite breakfast sides.

    Can you make omelette without a pan?

    Depending on the type of air fryer you have you can make an omelette without a pan. Air fryers like the Cosori dual blaze and Gourmia have removable inserts that allow you to use the air fryer without the insert.

    In such air fryers you can cook the omelette in the air fryer basket. You can also use a glass dish instead of a pan if you prefer.

    What to serve with omelette

    • Air fryer toast or English muffins
    • Fresh fruits
    • Bacon or sausage
    • Hashbrowns, breakfast potatoes or potatoes and sausage
    • Coffee or orange juice

    How to store and reheat

    Store any leftover omelette in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can reheat in the microwave or air fryer.

    To reheat in the air fryer, simply place the omelette in the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through.

    Reheat in the microwave at 20 secs intervals till warmed through.

    Air frying Tips for a nice and fluffy air fryer omelette

    • No need to preheat the air fryer to make an omelette
    • Use a non-stick cooking spray or brush the basket with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
    • Experiment with different fillings, such as spinach, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, or bacon, to find your favorite flavor combinations.
    • Slide a silicone spatula around the omelette when cooked to help ease it out of the pan.
    • For an extra crispy texture, you can use Parmesan cheese instead of cheddar cheese. Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese on top of the omelette in the last minute of cooking.
