    before and after of how to blend egg and cottage cheese mixture for a frittata
  • Grease an air fryer-safe 8x8’ pan or an 8-inch pie pan with non-stick spray or butter.
  • Add onion, broccoli, sausage (or turkey), spinach, and cheese to pan.
  • Pour the egg mixture on top. Then, use your finger or a spoon to mix and make sure the filling is evenly distributed.
  • Cover the pan with foil - make sure it’s not touching the filling. This ensures the top is not overly browned as it air fries.
  • Air fry at 325°F for 15 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and air fry for another 5 - 10 minutes until the top is golden and the eggs are set.

Notes

Egg White Frittata: Make this air fryer frittata with egg whites by substituting the 6 eggs with 14 – 16 egg whites or 1 + 1/4 cup of liquid egg whites.
10+ variations listed above in the blog post - buffalo chicken, mushroom, pizza, peppers and onions, vegetarian, ect.
Dairy-Free: To make this air fryer frittata dairy free, substitute the cottage cheese with dairy-free (plant-based) cottage cheese or ricotta and substitute the cheese with your favorite dairy-free alternative. I love almond milk shredded cheese.
Freezing: Let it cool to room temperature, remove the frittata from the pan, and cut it into slices or keep it whole. Transfer the pieces or whole frittata to an airtight (freezer-safe) container or bag and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you are ready to enjoy it, reheat by placing the frozen frittata on a baking sheet and reheat in the oven at 300°F for 15 – 20 minutes. You can also reheat a frozen frittata in the air fryer at 275°F for 15 – 20 minutes.
Storing: For best results, store leftover air fryer frittata slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 275°F for 3 – 5 minutes or in the microwave for 1 – 2 minutes until warm again.
