Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon mustard powder
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 cup diced precooked potato
  • ½ cup baby spinach leaves roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup chopped onion

Instructions

  • Lightly grease your pie pan [Note 1].
  • Whisk the eggs, mustard powder and salt in a bowl or large mixing jug [Note 2]. Add the shredded cheese and the other filling ingredients and mix until combined. 
  • Preheat air fryer to 320°F / 160°C.
  • Carefully pour the frittata mixture into the pie pan. Do not over-fill it, be sure to leave at least ¼ inch of space at the top as the frittata will expand as it cooks.
  • Place the frittata in the air fryer basket (take care as air fryer basket will be hot). Air fry frittata for:
    - 20 minutes for individual frittatas 
    - 25 minutes for a single 8inch/20cm frittata
  • Frittata is done when the top is golden brown, and it has reached 160°F / 72°C in the center [Note 3].  
  • Leave the frittata to set for at least 10 minutes [Note 4].  

Notes

  1. You will need either 4x 4½ inch/ 10-12cm pie pans, or a single 8 inch/ 20cm pie pan.
  2. Use a mixing jug if you have one large enough as it makes it much easier to pour the filling into the pan when it is ready.
  3. Check with an instant-read thermometer.
  4. Leave it to set for longer if you want to cut nice clean slices.
