🥚 Air Fryer Omelette

Last weekend, I was craving something warm and comforting for breakfast but didn’t want to stand over the stove flipping omelettes (which I somehow always tear 😅). My sister suggested trying an omelette in the air fryer, and honestly—I didn’t expect much. But wow… it turned out fluffy, cheesy, and packed with veggies.

I made it on a lazy Sunday morning when everyone at home was still half asleep. The smell of eggs, cheese, and fresh veggies brought everyone straight to the kitchen. My family loved how soft the omelette was inside while the edges had a slight golden texture. Now it’s one of my favorite quick breakfasts when I’m stressed, busy, or just want something easy without making a mess on the stovetop.

The best part? You can customize it with whatever veggies, cheese, or protein you have at home.
