Ingredients
– 6 eggs
– 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
– 1 cup mixed mushrooms (button, cremini, shiitake), sliced
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 cup grated Feta cheese (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Cooking spray or olive oil for the air fryer basket
Instructions
Preheat the air fryer:
Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Sauté the mushrooms and onion:
In a pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and diced onion. Cook until the mushrooms release their moisture and start to brown (about 5 minutes). Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add spinach and cook until wilted:
Add the chopped spinach leaves to the pan and cook until wilted (about 1-2 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Whisk the eggs:
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and a pinch of salt.
Assemble the frittata:
Pour the whisked eggs over the cooked mushroom and spinach mixture in the pan. If using cheese, sprinkle it on top.
Transfer to the air fryer basket:
Pour the egg mixture into a greased air fryer basket (about 6-7 inches in diameter).
Cook the frittata:
Cook the frittata in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set, and the frittata is golden brown on top.
Serve and enjoy:
Remove the frittata from the air fryer basket and slice it into wedges. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
Tips and Variations
– For a crispy crust, cook the frittata for an additional 2-3 minutes.
– Add diced bell peppers, zucchini, or other vegetables to the mushroom and spinach mixture for added flavor and nutrients.
– Use different types of cheese, such as feta, goat cheese, or Parmesan, for a unique flavor profile.
– Experiment with various herbs and spices, such as dried thyme, paprika, or cayenne pepper, to add depth and complexity to the frittata.
