Preparation

  • Crack the eggs into a bowl.
    4 eggs
  • Add the milk.
    2 tablespoons milk
  • Season with salt and black pepper.
    salt, black pepper
  • Add the mixed herbs, if using.
    1 pinch mixed herbs
  • Whisk for at least 1 minute to aerate the mixture.
  • Grease an air fryer-safe dish, including the bottom and sides.
    olive oil

Air frying

  • Preheat the air fryer to 160 °C for 3 minutes.
  • Pour the beaten eggs into the dish, filling it no more than three-quarters full, then place the dish in the basket.
  • Cook at 160 °C for 8 to 10 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and set but still slightly wobbly in the center.

To finish

  • Let rest for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Turn out and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a ceramic, silicone, or metal dish that fits inside the basket while still allowing air to circulate (ramekins, a small Pyrex-style dish, or parchment paper folded into a bowl shape all work well).
  • Never fill the dish beyond 3/4 full: the omelette rises quite a bit in the air fryer.
  • Grease the dish even if it is nonstick; lining the bottom with a square of parchment paper makes unmolding easier.
  • Whisk the eggs for at least 1 minute for a lighter texture (or whip the whites to stiff peaks and fold them in).
  • Stay between 160 and 170 °C to avoid a dry exterior and an undercooked center.
  • Doneness cue: the top should be set with a slight wobble in the center; residual heat will finish the cooking as it rests.
  • Avoid opening the air fryer during cooking: one quick check at the end is enough.
  • No-dish variation: line the basket with parchment paper, add a little olive oil, and cook for 6 minutes at 200 °C (for a flatter, frittata-style omelette).
  • If you add fillings such as ham, cheese, or vegetables, prep them ahead of time and precook watery vegetables so they do not release excess moisture.
