Why Make an Omelet in an Air Fryer?
Many people might oppose an air fryer omelet, believing that making one in a frying pan takes only a few minutes. Of course, this is correct. But you won’t realize how much easier and less effort an air-fried omelet is until you try one for the first time.
No Big Pile of Dishes: who likes to have a load of washing up dishes first thing in the morning? I certainly don’t! You crack the eggs directly onto your baking pan instead of a separate measuring jug. Then you only have to clean the roasting pan, 1 silicone whisk, a knife, and a chopping board.
Quick-to-cook: whisk the omelet mixture in a baking pan, add the omelet ingredients, and bake in the air fryer. You may even prepare your food the night before and let the air fryer deal with it in the morning while you shower.
Set & Forget: You place your ready-to-eat omelet in your air fryer and return it when it beeps. Perfect for a hectic morning!
