Omelette or Omelet in air fryer is a fuss-free recipe. Eggs gets perfectly golden and are light and fluffy without being overcooked. My recipe is zero oil and healthy.
I make omelettes or scrambled eggs most days for breakfast. I like my eggs to be cooked just right and not too browned.
In the skillet, they often brown too much for my liking. In the air fryer, eggs are so easy to make like this omelet.
Just put everything you want in your omelette with beaten eggs and air fry. No oil needed either. Though you could add butter or cheese for added taste.
You get a perfect omelette every single time.

How to Make the perfect Omlette
1. Eggs: Use good quality eggs. I used eggs at room temperature. Though you can use them from the fridge too.
2. Vegetable fillings: You can use finely chopped onion, tomato, pepper, mushroom, chives or green onion, corn.
3. Seasonings: salt and pepper generally suffice but feel free to use dry oregano, Italian seasoning, fresh basil, chilli flakes and garlic powder or minced.
4. Additional: If you like your omelet to be well cheesier, use any grated cheese that you like eg. Cheddar. You may also add bacon bits. Butter tastes great too.
In India, we love our masala omlette that has caramelized onion, finely chopped green chilli, chopped cilantro added to the egg mixture.
Many others like their omelet to have only eggs and seasoning. Go with what you enjoy.
Variations:
1. This air fryer recipe is oil free. It had no cheese as well so it is very healthy and nutritious. You could add grated cheese or butter if you so wish.
2. Many vegetarians eat eggs so this can work for them.
Stepwise Pictures:
Take your chopped veggies like mushrooms, onion, garlic, green chillies (optional) and finely chopped cilantro.
Beat together 2 eggs till well incorporated.
Add the chopped veggies along with salt and pepper. Here I have used chopped onion, green chilli, cilantro, mushroom, salt and pepper.
Mix well.
Air frying Instructions
Take your air fryer basket. Preheat air fryer at 200C or 390F for 5 minutes.
Take a 6” cake pan and line with parchment paper. Or use a parchment paper shaped like a shallow pan.
After preheating, place the shallow parchment paper round dish in air fryer. Pour omelette batter carefully inside.
Any round shaped cake tin or mould that is oven safe will suffice if you don't have this.
Shut the air fryer basket.
Air fry at 200 C or 390 F for about 7-9 minutes for perfectly cooked eggs that look golden brown and are fluffy inside.
Carefully life your parchment paper dish or cake tin out using tongs on to a plate. Using a spatula serve on to a plate.
Serve with toasted bread, sausages, roasted potatoes and baked veggies. Or any other way you like.
Your air fryer omelette is ready.

Notes
2. This omelet is oil free. You could add some butter, olive oil or grated cheese to the egg mixture for enhanced taste.
3. The omelet is well cooked and fluffy while being golden brown on top. You need not supervise at all which is my favorite part. 4. Always use parchment paper with food on top or it can fly to the heating element and burn. Never use it during preheating. Also all oven-safe cookware are safe to use in air fryers. 5. This is a super easy and supervision free method of making perfect omelettes at home that are also super healthy.
