Air Fryer Omelette

In the Milner house this year, my all time favourite breakfast is air fryer egg cups.

It was a breakfast I used to have a few years back when I was on the Whole30 and I have become totally hooked on making it for breakfast in the air fryer.

I would do my exercise, put my air fryer egg cups on, do the school run and then eat them when I got home after Sofia had been dropped off at preschool.

Jorge would be by my side as I made them and would get real joy out of mixing the ingredients and passing me the various silicone egg cups that I had.

Or some mornings Sofia would join in and choose the silicone hearts or the pink ones.

But what I hated about making them was that the prep seemed too long for a quick air fryer breakfast and the washing up was more than what I wanted.

One morning I made the full batch using just my air fryer baking pan and OMG not only were they delicious, but there was less prep and washing up and my easy air fryer omelette had been born.

Plus, as well as our free newsletter, we also have a free air fryer mini course. It is ideal for air fryer beginners or those that want to get more confident with their air fryer. The free course runs for 5 days with a new lesson delivered each day to your inbox.

Can I Make An Omelette In My Air Fryer?

Yes, you can. I love to make an omelette in the air fryer. It is fantastic for a set and forget air fryer breakfast for busy mornings.

Many people will be anti air fryer omelettes thinking that it doesn’t take long to make one in the frying pan. Which of course is true.

But when you make an air fryer omelette you dump the ingredients in like this:

Can I Make An Omelette In My Air Fryer

There is one pot to wash up as everything happens in one air fryer baking pan and you don’t have to watch it.

You can literally go and take a shower while to cooks.

You can prepare your air fryer omelette the night before and then cook it in the air fryer the next morning, or even cook it in advance and then reheat later.

In fact, when I was doing the video for your air fryer omelette (access it here) I made the omelette for the video and then was so full that I reheated the rest of it the next day.

Why An Air Fryer Omelette?

Until you make an air fryer omelette for the first time, you will not appreciate how much easier they are and how little effort is involved.

  • The washing up – who wants a big pile of dishes to wash in a morning? I know I don’t! You crack the eggs into the same baking pan that you will be cooking your air fryer egg omelette in. You don’t have that separate measuring jug to wash up and instead washing up is your baking pan, 1 silicone whisk, a knife and a chopping board. You could even eat your omelette from the baking pan if you wanted to.
  • It’s so fast – You whisk the omelette mixture in your baking pan, add in omelette add ins and then bake in the air fryer. You could even meal prep the night before and let it cook in the air fryer while you take a shower.
  • Set & forget – It is like baking something. You load your prepped omelette into the air fryer and come back when it beeps. Perfect for when you have a busy morning and want to get things done.

Air Fryer Omelette Secret

One thing that is never discussed about the air fryer is how good it is as a food warmer. You can keep food in the air fryer, and it will not carry on cooking but it will keep the food warm for you.

I will hear the air fryer beep just as I am heading out of the door to take Sofia, then by the time I get back and sit down for breakfast when I get home 45 minutes have passed.

The air fryer omelette is still wonderfully warm and perfect for eating. It has not gone cold and is perfect for organising your busy morning.

Keto Air Fryer Omelette

It is very easy to turn your omelette into a keto air fryer omelette. This is because the basic ingredients for an air fryer omelette are:

  • Eggs
  • Milk

You are then adding in your favourite ingredients to your omelette. The ingredients including add ins that I use most days are:

  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Red Pepper
  • Green Pepper
  • Yellow Pepper
  • Seasonings

I love the beautiful colours of mixed peppers in the air fryer and they are quick to slice in a morning without any peeling to do.

You can also make an air fryer cheese omelette, air fryer cheese and bacon, air fryer chicken and kale or any of your other favourite combos. Plus, all these omelette ideas are keto!

Air Fryer Omelette Gadgets Used

You’re probably wondering what kitchen gadgets we used to make our air fryer omelette and here is a quick run through.

  • Air Fryer Baking Pan – I love this baking pan and it fits perfectly in the larger air fryers and is non-stick making washing up even easier. Here is the plan B for a smaller air fryer, but will still make a good size omelette.
  • Air Fryer – The Air Fryer we used in our air fryer omelette is the Philips XXL. It is the new addition to our air fryer family and the perfect size for making omelettes for breakfast or brunch.

Air Fryer Omelette Cooking Time

As we started cooking an air fryer omelette, we played around with cooking times quite a bit. What we did settle on was that 9 minutes was the ideal cooking time.

  • 8 minutes and the eggs are not quite set
  • 10 minutes and a little too brown

Eggs – This depends on how many people you are feeding. I normally do two large eggs in my breakfast omelette.

Milk – You just want enough milk to make a nice omelette batter with the eggs. Don’t worry about what milk you use as any will do.

Filling – Its up to you what fillings you would like in your omelette. I opted for peppers because they give a wonderful colour to your omelette and cook fast with the omelette. You can use mushrooms, cheese, peppers, onions, or another fast cooking vegetable in yours.

Seasoning – I recommend keeping it simple with salt, pepper, and oregano. After all, you want a simple breakfast that you can make for busy mornings.

Notes

It must be a silicone whisk otherwise you will ruin the non-stick of your air fryer baking pan.
If you leave your omelette cooked in a closed air fryer basket, it will stay warm for up to an hour.
You can also add in meats. My favourite is some leftover cooked chicken. Just make sure any meat you add in is cooked.
If you plan to use fresh tomatoes as add ins, don’t use milk in the recipe. As otherwise it will be too wet.
For our mixed peppers – we had a yellow, a red and a green. We used a mix of the three, though you can use any colour.

  1. Hello Samantha
    Love your website.
    We live in Alberta, Canada and in our younger years we dreamed of retiring to Portugal (unfortunately we haven’t hit the lottery yet).
    Would love to try your omlette but I do not have a baking pan. I have a Ninja Air Fryer – which I love. It has a removable plate or disk that provides the air flow. Below that is a teflon base. Clean up has always been a breeze so I’m wonderring if I can just make the omlette directly on the base?

    • Hi Wendy,

      Thank you for your kind comments.

      You could make the omelette just in the inner pot but a few things to look out for as we have never done it. The omelette could stick onto the bottom quite badly if the coating has worn off at all and it would leave a horrible mess. You would also need to flip it half way through the cooking time to try and stop the sticking.

      Let us know if you try it and how it has worked out please because we love to see new things cooked in different gadgets ????

    Thanks to your website I have ventured into and now love air fryer cooking. This reminds me of one of my favorite Chinese dishes, Egg Foo Young. Would I use the same method to make that and if so, do you have a recipe for Chinese brown sauce?

    • Hi Wendy,

      Thank you very much for your kind words, we are really pleased you are finding the information on our blog useful and are really happy you are getting the most from your air fryer. As regards to Egg Foo Young i have not heard of it, but if it is an egg based dish and has vegetables in it i do not see why it cannot be done the same way. Also we do not know what a brown chinese sauce is, so if you would like to let us know what these dishes are we love to learn about food we have never heard of before 🙂

      Thank you!

    I tried this just now with frozen chopped vegan sausages, frozen herbs from the garden, frozen grated vegan cheese, paprika sprinkled on top and used silicone pie ‘dish’. I will finely chop and freeze mixed peppers for next time (might even mix with the grated cheese/sausages/herbs so that it’s a ready mix). I ate it with tomato sauce/ketchup (but a bit of fresh salad would have been healthier, for brunch or lunch). Delicious! Thank you for all your generous info and replies. Glad you are back in UK as I can relate to that more 😉 Some of the supermarket delivery services have got their Xmas slots available btw (at least Waitrose has).

    I’m interested in your air fryer Yorkshire puddings and will try those next 🙂
