Air Fryer Frittata, an easy and quick main course to add to the collection of air fryer recipes. Frittatas are a very versatile dish and there are thousands of variations, such as the frittata with potatoes and sausage or those made with zucchini, like the rice frittata with zucchini.
This preparation has become one of my favorite solutions: it is ready in a few minutes, stays tall, soft and well cooked without the need to flip it and without filling the kitchen with odors. Just mix the eggs with the chosen ingredients, pour the mixture into the mold and let the air fryer do the rest. It’s practical, light and perfect when I want something simple but well made, even at the last minute.
