My Personal Experience

I used to think making a frittata required a lot of effort—whisking, baking, and hoping it didn’t stick to the pan. But ever since I started using my air fryer, it’s become my go-to method. The texture is just perfect—fluffy on the inside, slightly crisp on the edges, and absolutely delicious. Plus, cleanup is a breeze!

Required Equipment

Air Fryer

This is the star of the show. It cooks the frittata quickly and evenly, giving it a beautiful golden finish.

Mixing Bowl

You’ll need a bowl to whisk together the eggs, cream, and seasonings. A good-sized bowl makes mixing easier and less messy.

Whisk or Fork

To properly blend the eggs and ensure a smooth, fluffy texture, a whisk is your best friend.

Silicone Baking Dish or Oven-Safe Pan

Since air fryer baskets have holes, you’ll need a small oven-safe dish to hold the frittata mixture. Silicone works great because it prevents sticking.

Ingredients & Substitutions

• 6 large eggs – The base of the frittata, providing protein and structure.
• ¼ cup heavy cream – Makes the frittata rich and creamy. You can use unsweetened almond milk for a lighter version.
• ½ cup shredded cheese – Cheddar, mozzarella, or feta all work great.
• ½ cup diced veggies (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, etc.) – Adds flavor and texture. Skip if you prefer a pure egg and cheese frittata.
• ½ cup cooked protein (bacon, sausage, ham, or shredded chicken) – Optional, but makes it extra filling.
• ½ teaspoon salt – Enhances all the flavors.
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper – Adds a little kick.
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder – Optional, but great for flavor.

How to Make Keto Air Fryer Frittata

1. Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) while you prepare the ingredients.
2. Whisk the eggs in a mixing bowl until well combined.
3. Add the heavy cream, cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the eggs and mix well.
4. Grease your baking dish lightly with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
5. Pour the egg mixture into the dish and gently stir in the diced veggies and cooked protein.
6. Place the dish in the air fryer and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center.
7. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Tips for This Recipe

• If the center is still jiggly, cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• Let the frittata sit for a minute after cooking to firm up.
• For extra flavor, sprinkle some cheese on top before cooking.

Optional Additions

• Fresh Herbs: Basil or parsley for extra freshness.
• Spices: A pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne for a kick.
• Different Cheeses: Swap cheddar for goat cheese or gouda.

Serving Ideas

• Pair with avocado slices for extra healthy fats.
• Serve with a side salad for a light lunch.
• Add a dollop of sour cream or keto-friendly salsa for more flavor.

Storage Recommendations

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
• Freezer: Freeze individual slices for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Warm in the air fryer at 300°F for 3-5 minutes, or microwave for 30-40 seconds.
