Air fryer frittatas are a quick and easy breakfast option, taking less than 20 minutes to cook.

You'll know your frittata is done when the centre is set, and the overall top is turning golden brown. If you want to be extra sure, insert a toothpick into the centre of the frittata – if it comes out clean, it's ready to eat. If you're making your frittata in a deep casserole dish or baking pan, it will likely take around 12 to 15 minutes.

As a general guideline, an air fryer frittata takes 12-15 minutes

Air fryers are convection ovens that cook much faster than regular ovens, and they don't need to be preheated. You can also make a batch of frittatas in an air fryer and freeze them for later.

Check on your frittata after 12 minutes

It's important to check on your frittata after 12 minutes. Cooking times may vary depending on the size and thickness of your frittata, but as a general guideline, an air fryer egg frittata typically takes around 12-15 minutes if it’s done in a deep casserole dish or baking pan. Every air fryer is different, so while some frittatas will be ready in 12 minutes, others may take up to 15 minutes. You'll know your frittata is ready when the centre is set and the overall top is turning golden brown. If it's not ready, continue air frying in 30-second intervals until it has set.
