This Air Fryer Frittata with Spring Greens is a light, healthy, and fuss-free meal that’s great for breakfast, lunch, or even a light dinner. It’s made with simple ingredients, comes together in no time, and tastes like spring on a plate.
What Is a Frittata?
Frittata is an Italian-style omelet, but unlike a traditional omelet that’s cooked quickly and folded, a frittata is slower-cooked and finished in the oven—or in this case, the air fryer. It’s usually made with eggs, dairy (like milk or cream), and filled with vegetables, cheese, and sometimes meat. It’s hearty, wholesome, and incredibly versatile.
Why This Recipe Works So Well
This air fryer version keeps the whole process simple and hands-off. You don’t need to watch the stove, and you get a nicely cooked frittata with a lightly golden top and fluffy interior. It’s a great way to bring fresh, healthy ingredients into your weekly rotation without spending hours in the kitchen.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Eggs – The base of the frittata. Large, fresh, free-range eggs work best.
Water, milk or cream – I usually add water for a fluffy texture but you can add milk or cream to add a little creaminess. You can use dairy-free milk too if preferred.
Spring greens – Think spinach, wild garlic leaves, kale, chard, arugula, or even nettles if you’re feeling adventurous.
Scallions or leeks – These add a gentle onion flavor that pairs perfectly with eggs.
Fresh herbs – Dill, parsley, mint, or chives are all lovely.
Cheese – Feta, goat cheese, or shredded cheddar can all work depending on your taste.
