TIPS:

• Whisking the Eggs: Ensure the eggs are well whisked for a uniform and fluffy texture in your frittata. This creates a satisfying consistency that evenly distributes the other ingredients.
• Cooking Spray: Applying cooking spray to the air fryer pan prevents sticking and ensures easy removal of the frittata after cooking.
• Customizing Fillings: While this recipe features spinach, onion, and mozzarella cheese, feel free to customize the fillings to your preferences. Chopped bell peppers, diced tomatoes, cooked bacon, or other favorite ingredients can be wonderful additions.
• Seasoning to Taste: Use salt and pepper to season the egg mixture. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
• Air Fryer Temperature: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for optimal cooking conditions. This ensures even cooking and the desired texture.
• Cooking Time: An 8-minute cooking time produces a perfectly set frittata. However, cooking time may vary based on your air fryer’s specifications, so monitor the process for the desired consistency.
• Testing Doneness: To ensure the frittata is fully cooked, insert a toothpick or knife into the center – it should come out clean without any runny egg mixture.
