Why This Recipe Works
A quick and satisfying way to enjoy a flavorful breakfast or brunch. It combines the creamy texture of melted cheese with the spicy kick of chiles, all cooked perfectly in an air fryer for a light and fluffy result.
Directions
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 6-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking spray to keep the frittata from sticking. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream until smooth. Then add the bacon, Jack cheese, chiles, tomatoes, onion, salt, and pepper, and give everything a good stir to combine. Pour the mixture into your prepared pan and carefully place it in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 10 minutes, then check on it. If the top is getting too brown, cover it loosely with foil and keep cooking for another 6 to 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool for a minute before serving.
