    How to Cook an Omelet in the Air Fryer

    Note: Keep in mind that air fryers are different than regular ovens and that cooking time can very by a few minutes. Generally, I start checking the omelet after 8-10 minutes. to see if the egg and cheese are done. I use a fork to check for doneness.

    Preheat air fryer to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit
    Mix the Eggs and ingredients until combined
    Place the Pan in the air fryer basket
    Air fry the omelet in the air fryer for 12 to 15 minutes ( start checking after 10 minutes)

    Tip: Although it is not required you might find that you want to flip the omelet. I like using this Silicone Baking Dish to make omelets in the air fryer.

    I just run a silicone spatula around the edge to loosen the omelet and use a plate to flip it. Be careful because even the silicone pan gets hot so use gloves.

    Other Filling and Topping Ideas

    • Onions and Bell Peppers – add some chopped onions and bell peppers.
    • Tomatoes – add tomatoes to kick it up a bit in flavor and color.
    • Green Onions – add green onions at the end as a garnish topping for delicious color and texture.

    I like to serve my omelets with Air Fryer Breakfast Potatoes. Personally, I like hashbrowns but home fries and roasted potatoes work great too.

    Sometimes I make some air fryer sausage and some cinnamon rolls if it’s a Sunday.
