Here is How to Make this Air Fryer Breakfast Frittata Recipe
Prepare the ingredients: Clean and trim and chop the asparagus, mushrooms and onions. Shred the cheese and measure the milk.
Heat a small ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 1. Whisk the eggs
Whisk the eggs and milk in a medium bowl and set them aside.
Step 2. Cook the vegetables
Once the skillet is hot add the vegetables and cook them until they begin to turn soft and turn the heat off.
Step 3. Add the cheese and eggs
Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the cooked vegetables in the pan and pour the egg mixture over the top.
Step 4. Air fry the frittata
Place the skillet into the air fryer basket or tray and air fry until the center of the frittata is golden brown on top.
Note: If you are using a non-stick skillet, you may need to add another teaspoon of oil to the skillet before pouring the eggs in which will help to prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan.
