Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large eggs (180 g)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, packed (30 g)
  • 1/3 cup roasted red peppers, sliced (50 g)
  • 2 oz goat cheese, crumbled (56 g)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (30 ml), whole or 2%
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter (5 ml), for greasing
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (1.5 g)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives, chopped (5 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and let it warm up for 3-5 minutes.
  2. Rinse and dry the fresh spinach thoroughly. Slice the roasted red peppers into thin strips if not pre-sliced. Crumble the goat cheese into small pieces.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk 3 large eggs with 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and slightly frothy. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Fold in the spinach, roasted red peppers, goat cheese, and optional herbs gently into the egg mixture.
  5. Lightly grease your air fryer baking dish or ramekin with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  6. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish, spreading evenly. The dish should be about 6-7 inches in diameter and 1-1.5 inches deep.
  7. Place the dish in the air fryer basket and cook at 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) for 10-12 minutes. Check at 10 minutes; the omelet should be puffed, set, and have golden, crispy edges. Cook an extra 1-2 minutes if still jiggly.
  8. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
  9. Remove the dish carefully using oven mitts and let the omelet rest for 2 minutes to firm up.
  10. Serve warm, garnished with additional herbs or cracked pepper if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for best texture. Dry spinach thoroughly to avoid sogginess. Avoid overcrowding fillings to maintain crispiness. Preheat the air fryer for even cooking. Let the omelet rest before slicing. For dairy-free, substitute milk and goat cheese with plant-based alternatives.
