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. 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. 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.
