Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Generously coat a 6-inch cake pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Incorporate the crumbled bacon, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped green chiles, diced tomatoes, and finely chopped onion. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir until all ingredients are evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and carefully place it inside the air fryer basket. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Air fry for 10 minutes. If the top begins to brown too quickly, gently cover the pan with foil to prevent burning. Continue cooking until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 6 to 10 minutes more. (16 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
Feel free to customize the cheese and vegetable selection to your liking. Cheddar cheese, bell peppers, or mushrooms would all be delicious additions.
If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the frittata in a conventional oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
