Ingredients
Eggs: I have used 6 eggs at one go when cooking for my family. You can also use less or more eggs depending upon the size of your air fryer and requirement.
Cheese: I love cheese in my frittata. I generally use cheddar or processed cheese.
Vegetables: I have used chopped spinach, scallion or green onion and sliced mushrooms here. Pretty much any vegetables work like boiled corn, cherry or chopped tomatoes, onion, peppers.
Olive oil: I have used this for spraying/brushing.
Cream or milk: Again, this makes the frittata tastier. I generally avoid heavy cream due to the Calories. But feel free to use if you so wish.
