Ingredients
  

  • 3 eggs large
  • 1 tablespoon Milk or cream or 1 teaspoon water for extra fluff
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese Cheddar, mozzarella, Colby Jack, or a blend of your choice
  • 1/4 cup diced ham or bacon, diced
  • 2 tablespoons sautéed mushrooms
  • 4 cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
  • Cooking spray To spray the baking dish before adding egg mixture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt and pepper to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Seasoning of choice a pinch of

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the air fryer to 350°F (176°C) 
  • Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk (or water), salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  • Prepare the pan: Line a shallow oven-safe pan with parchment paper or use a disposable air fryer parchment liner with raised edges; if not using a liner, lightly spray the pan with cooking oil to prevent sticking.

  • Add ingredients: Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Sprinkle cheese, ham, mushrooms, tomatoes, and green onions evenly on top.
  • Air fry: Place the pan in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for 8-10minutes, or until the center jiggles slightly but does not look wet.

  • Rest before slicing: Remove from air fryer and let sit for 2–3 minutes. The residual heat will finish cooking the center. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • Thickness matters most. Keep the egg layer about ¾–1 inch thick for even cooking. If the mixture is too deep, the edges may overcook before the center sets.
  • Check early rather than late. Air fryers vary, so check at the 8-minute mark. The center should jiggle slightly but not look wet.
  • Pre-cook vegetables. Mushrooms, spinach, and peppers release moisture during cooking. Sauté them first to prevent a watery omelette.
  • For extra fluff: Substitute milk with 1 teaspoon of water. The steam helps create lift.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat at 300°F for 2–3 minutes for best texture.
  • Avoid overcooking. Eggs firm up quickly once fully set. Removing the omelette slightly before it looks done keeps it tender.
