Ingredients

Scale

Frittata Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 46 spring onions, finely chopped
  • 100g feta cheese, crumbled
  • 30g mature cheddar, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tin: Line a 20cm fixed base cake tin, which fits inside your air fryer basket, with a round of baking parchment bigger than the tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: Beat the eggs in a jug, then add the finely chopped spring onions and crumbled feta cheese. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well.
  3. Pour and Level: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared tin and gently jiggle the tin to level the mixture evenly. Trim any overhanging parchment if necessary to fit in the air fryer.
  4. First Air Fry: Place the tin inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 150°C for 12 minutes to set the base of the frittata.
  5. Add Cheddar Topping: Carefully pull out the air fryer drawer and evenly sprinkle the grated mature cheddar over the top of the partially cooked frittata.
  6. Final Cook: Return the tin to the air fryer and cook for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until the frittata is cooked through. Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean with no liquid egg remaining. The frittata should feel springy when gently pressed.
  7. Serve: Remove the frittata from the air fryer and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor. Leftovers can be enjoyed cold, served in salads, or on crackers like matzo.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake tin fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket before starting.
  • Season the egg mixture adequately, but keep salt moderate as feta is naturally salty.
  • Use a knife to check for doneness instead of relying only on timing, to avoid undercooked egg.
  • Leftover frittata tastes great served cold, making it ideal for meal prep or picnic snacks.
  • Experiment with other herbs or cheeses for flavor variations.
