Air Fryer Tomato & Onion Omelette

By Esther Lackie

Sometimes breakfast really doesn't need to be complicated. This Air Fryer Tomato & Onion Omelette uses just a handful of simple ingredients and takes only 6 minutes to cook. I add sliced onion and halved cherry tomatoes directly to an air fryer safe dish, pour the seasoned beaten eggs over them and leave everything alone. No mixing once the eggs go in. I just let everything take a shape of its own as it cooks. Finish with fresh parsley and breakfast is done.

Lackie's Notes

Once the beaten eggs go over the tomatoes and onion, I don't mix them. I just leave everything alone and let it take a shape of its own in the air fryer.

I made this one without preheating. If you are curious about when preheating matters, have a look at Do You Need to Preheat an Air Fryer?
