Ingredients

  • large eggs - with the prices of eggs nowadays this isn't as budget friendly as it once was. I still prefer to get local farm fresh eggs when I can find them.
  • Colby Jack cheese
  • cooked breakfast sausage. I used leftover air fryer sausage that I made in the air fryer for this omelette recipe.
  • bell peppers - I used an orange bell pepper for the sweet flavor. You can also use yellow, green or red bell peppers.

Optional omelette mix ins: bacon bits, garlic, cream cheese, mushrooms, spinach, goat cheese, fresh basil, garlic powder, or even Monterey Jack cheese.

Tips & Tricks

You'll love this easy omelette recipe, but depending on what you cook your omelette in push pan, cake pan, pyrex pan or parchment paper - you may need to add or reduce time so you get a nice and fluffy omelette.

If you want a more basic omelette, try adding in a few types of cheese for a delicious homemade air fryer cheese omelette.

The air fryer can help you make the perfect omelette!

Tools to make this easy recipe

  • Air Fryer – my favorite is this Cosori Air Fryer because of the large air fryer basket.
  • Push pan, bowl or parchment paper to make the omelette in.

  2. Slice your breakfast sausage and add them in. Dice your peppers and add them in. Add in the cheese and mix them all together. 
  3. Line your air fryer basket with parchment paper or insert an oven safe dish such as a push pan or pyrex bowl. Spray with cooking spray or oil. Pour egg mixture into lined air fryer basket or pan.

Substitutions

If you want a substitution for this omelette, you can try to make this recipe with egg whites. If you are wanting to substitute the sausage you can try your favorite meats like ham or turkey or even bacon!

Place around with the cheeses too, maybe Swiss cheese, cheddar or gruyere.

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.

    Excited to try this but unsure…. Is the air fryer set to “bake” or “airfry” or something else? Thanks!

      My air fryer only has one setting and that's the air fryer setting.
