The onion omelette in the air fryer is a main dish made with eggs and onions, cooked in the air fryer. This way, the onion omelette is lighter, without taking away from the taste. If you love oven-baked omelettes, this is the right recipe to cook omelettes in the air fryer, like the pasta omelette and the asparagus omelette in the air fryer.
Recently, I discovered that a herb that pairs well with onion omelette is marjoram, alternatively, you can use parsley.
To make the onion omelette in the air fryer, you just need to sauté the sliced onions in the air fryer and then mix them with beaten eggs. Pour into the pan and cook the omelette.
