Ingredients

  • 1 portion of cooking spray
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tbsp of heavy cream
  • 2 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon (if desired)
  • ½ cup of shredded Jack cheese
  • ¼ cup of chopped Ortega® green chiles
  • 3 tbsp of diced tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp of finely chopped onion
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to suit your taste

Step 1

Begin by preheating the air fryer to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and generously spritzing a 6-inch cake pan with a nonstick cooking spray. In a mixing bowl, blend together eggs and cream until smooth. Incorporate the savory elements - bacon, Jack cheese, chiles, tomatoes, onion, salt, and pepper - into the mixture, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors. Transfer this delightful concoction into the prepared cake pan, nestling it snugly into the air fryer basket.

Step 2

Let the air fryer work its magic for about 10 minutes. If you notice the top browning too quickly, fashion a foil cover for the pan and allow it to continue cooking until a toothpick, when inserted in the center, emerges clean, taking an additional 6 to 10 minutes.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Cheese Selection : When storing cheese for your air fryer frittata, opt for high-quality varieties like aged cheddar, creamy goat cheese, or sharp Parmesan. Their robust flavors will elevate your dish.
  2. 2. Proper Cheese Wrapping : To keep your cheese fresh and prevent it from drying out, wrap it tightly in wax paper or parchment paper before placing it in an airtight container.
