Ingredient Notes
This frittata requires just four main ingredients: 6 large eggs, 1 cup of chopped spinach, 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese, and 2 tablespoons of Thai fish sauce. Substitute the spinach with kale or any leafy greens you prefer. For a vegetarian option, use a plant-based feta. Thai fish sauce adds depth, but soy sauce or tamari can work in a pinch.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and fish sauce until well combined.
- Fold in the chopped spinach and crumbled feta cheese, mixing until evenly distributed.
- Pour the egg mixture into a greased air fryer-safe pan.
- Cook in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and set in the middle.
- Let it cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
Things I’ve Learned
I’ve found that using fresh spinach provides a vibrant flavor and texture. If the frittata puffs up too much, that’s okay; it will settle as it cools. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave until warm. You can make a big batch ahead of time for busy mornings!
