What to serve with Air Fryer Omelette
This 3 egg omelette in the Air Fryer can be served with salsa, sour cream, avocado, sliced green onions or your favorite omelette toppings.
Kick up the heat and serve it with your favorite hot sauce. I’m a baby and just use milk taco sauce.
You could also try to top your omelette with these Air Fryer peppers and onions if you’re trying to increase your vegetable and fiber intake. If you’re looking for more protein and fat, serve it with bacon and breakfast sausage.
If you aren’t looking for a low carb option then you can serve this recipe with some Roasted Potatoes and Green Beans.
Another low carb option could be these Keto hash browns. Whatever you choose, it’s a great start to a healthy breakfast.
How to store
Store any leftover omelet in an airtight container for 2-3 days, but I would try to eat it the next day for best texture.
How to reheat
Remove the lid from the container and microwave on high for 1 minute or until the omelette is warm. You may also transfer the omelette to a microwave safe dish to warm up.
What is the best temperature to cook an omelette?
I cook my omelette in the air fryer at lower temperatures than I cook most foods. I cook omelettes at 350F instead of 390/400F so that the eggs can properly set and not dry out.
Is it better to cook with butter or oil?
Personally I prefer to line the air fryer with parchment paper or use a non-stick pan and spray with avocado oil. You could also use melted ghee, tallow or lard in a pinch too. I would avoid using melted butter at high temperatures.
Can You Freeze Omelettes?
You can freeze omelettes but I wouldn’t recommend it. I prefer to eat leftover eggs or omelettes within a few days and store them in the fridge.
