Ingredients

• 4 large eggs

• 1/4 cup milk

• 1/2 cup diced vegetables (e.g., zucchini, tomatoes, mushrooms, or bell peppers)

• 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (or your choice of cheese)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley, chives, or basil)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

• Preheat your air fryer to 300°F (150°C). This helps the frittatas cook evenly and avoids sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture

1. Whisk the Eggs:

   • Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add the milk, and whisk until fully combined.

   • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

2. Add the Fillings:

   • Stir in the diced vegetables, shredded Parmesan cheese, and optional fresh herbs. Ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Grease the Molds

• Lightly grease silicone muffin cups or ramekins with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Silicone molds work best for easy removal after cooking.

Step 4: Fill the Molds

• Pour the egg mixture into the prepared cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for expansion.

Step 5: Air Fry the Frittatas

1. Arrange the Molds in the Basket:

   • Place the filled molds in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring there’s space for airflow.

2. Cook:

   • Air fry for 12–15 minutes, checking for doneness. Insert a toothpick into the center of a frittata—if it comes out clean, they’re ready!

Step 6: Cool and Serve

• Allow the frittatas to cool slightly before removing them from the molds. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Pro Tips for Success

• Mix-Ins: Experiment with different vegetables, proteins (e.g., cooked bacon, ham, or sausage), and cheeses for endless variety.

• Batch Cooking: Make a double batch and store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

• Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 3–5 minutes for a freshly cooked taste.

• Freezing: Freeze cooked frittatas in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat before serving.
