  1. Not sure why, but it took mine about 40 minutes to cook completely. I used a 7” springform pan and when placed in my fryer basket, there was about 3/4” space all the way around the outside of the pan so I know the airflow was ok. I covered it loosely with foil as stated in the directions, but at the 10 minute mark it was still completely uncooked. I uncovered, cooked another 10 minutes to find it starting to brown on top, so I put the foil back on top and it took approximately 20 more minutes to cook through. It was still fluffy and delicious.

  2. Am I the only one who didn’t see cream, or the amount of cream, on the ingredients list?

  3. 5 stars

  4. 5 stars
    I would eat this frittata for supper with a salad and be happy. I don’t have an air fryer so hopefully, I can pop it in the oven.

  5. Such a fantastic breakfast option! I am loving the ingredients in this frittata and your tutorial is super helpful.

  6. 5 stars
    Such a wonderful use of the air fryer! All those flavors sound incredible and I love how easily the frittata comes together!
