03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
05 - 1/4 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)

11 - 1/3 cup crumbled feta or shredded cheddar
→ Oil
12 - 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing pan)
# Preparation Steps:
01 - Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and Italian herbs in a medium bowl until smooth and fully combined.
02 - Stir cherry tomatoes, spinach, bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and cheese (if using) into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
03 - Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3 minutes to ensure proper cooking temperature.
04 - Brush a 7-inch round, oven-safe pan or cake tin with olive oil to prevent sticking.
05 - Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared pan. Place in air fryer basket and cook at 350°F for 12-15 minutes until set in center and lightly golden on top.
06 - Let the frittata cool for 2 minutes to set, then slice into wedges and serve warm.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get that fluffy, custardy texture without standing over a hot stove or worrying about the bottom burning
- The air fryer creates this gorgeous golden top that makes it look like you spent way more time than you actually did
02 -
- Not every pan will fit in your air fryer, so measure before you start—a 7-inch round pan is the sweet spot for most models
- The frittata will deflate slightly as it cools, which is completely normal and does not mean anything went wrong
03 -
- Pat your diced vegetables dry with a paper towel before adding them to the eggs—excess moisture can make the frittata soggy in the middle
- If your air fryer runs hot, check the frittata at 10 minutes and tent it with foil if it's browning too fast
