What Do I Need To Make Omelette in the air fryer?
To make a perfectly fluffy omelet, you will need an air fryer. The device that I’m using is Cuisinart Air fryer oven. Then you need eggs, salt, pepper, cooking spray, any desired vegetables or cheese for mix-ins, and any toppings for serving. You also need a dish to cook the omelet in. I’m using the 8-inch square baking pan. You can use any round pan, just make sure it comfortably fits in your air fryer. And make sure it is oven safe up to 450°F (230°C). So it could be metal, aluminum, glass, or stainless steel. I’m also using the bleach free Parchment paper to line the baking dish for a completely mess-free and no clean-up omelette experience.

I made an omelet following this recipe, but it took way longer than 5 minutes in the air fryer. I had to finish it in the oven because the underside was still raw after almost 10 minutes in the air fryer. I think I will cook the omelet in the air fryer without the cheese, and add the cheese, just to brown on top, once it’s fully cooked.
