Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (100g) spinach leaves, roughly chopped
- 10 1/2 oz (300g) cottage cheese
- 3 1/2 oz (100g) smoked salmon, cut into strips
- 1 bunch spring onions (scallions), finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning or dried dill
- olive oil, in a spray bottle, as needed
- few sprigs fresh dill
Instructions
- Whisk Eggs & Milk: Start by whisking the eggs until fully combined and slightly frothy. This step is crucial for getting a light texture in your frittata. Just be careful not to overbeat it, or it might puff too much when cooked.
- Add Vegetables & Cheese: Gently fold in your chopped vegetables and cheese until they’re evenly distributed. This isn’t just for flavor; the veggies also add a nice texture. Avoid large chunks though, as they might not cook evenly.
- Prepare Air Fryer Pan: Grab your air fryer pan and give it a good spray with cooking oil to prevent sticking. A nice shiny coating is what you want for easier removal after cooking.
- Pour In Mixture: Carefully pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan. This ensures even cooking, so every bite is flavorful. Do not overfill the pan, or it could overflow while cooking.
- Cook & Check Progress: Pop the pan into your air fryer and set it to cook. Keep an eye on it for a nice golden-brown top. Check it occasionally to avoid undercooking the center. If it browns too quickly, covering it with foil can help.
- Cool & Slice: Once it looks done, let the frittata cool for a few minutes. It will firm up a bit as it sits, which is great for slicing. Just be patient to ensure it holds its shape.
Notes
- Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can reheat in the air fryer for about 5 minutes at 360F or enjoy cold.
- Expert Tips: Do not beat the eggs too vigorously; this will puff them up too much. Use leftover ingredients for customization. Pair with a side salad for a complete meal.
- Reheating Instructions: Reheat in the air fryer at 360F for about 5 minutes or until warmed through.
- Serving Suggestions: Pair with a fresh green salad or serve with whole grain toast for a hearty breakfast. Accompany with avocado slices for added creaminess.
- Recipe Variations: Add bell peppers for a colorful twist. Include crumbled feta cheese for extra flavor. Replace smoked salmon with cooked bacon or sausage.
- Ingredient Notes: When selecting your ingredients, opt for high-quality eggs and cottage cheese for better flavor. You may substitute cottage cheese with quark, ricotta, or cream cheese for a similar result.
