Step 1
Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray the inside of a small metal container—about 6 inches wide and 4 inches tall—that fits inside your air fryer basket. Add a bit of butter to the container and pop it into the air fryer for about 45 seconds to melt. Next, toss in the chopped bell pepper and onion, and let them cook for a couple of minutes until they start to soften.

Step 2
Carefully take the container out and stir in the sausage crumbles. Sprinkle the Colby Jack cheese on top, then set it aside for a moment. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs until everything’s well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and a splash of hot sauce if you like a little kick. Pour this mixture over the sausage and veggies in the container, giving it a gentle stir to mix things up.

Step 3
Place the container back in the air fryer basket and cook for around 12 minutes. You want the top to turn a light golden brown and for a toothpick inserted in the center to come out clean. If it needs a bit more time, just keep air frying in 30-second bursts until it’s set all the way through. Serve it warm or at room temperature, maybe with some salsa on the side.
Why you’ll love it
This dish is quick to make and packed with protein. Using an air fryer means less oil and a nice, even cook. It’s perfect for busy mornings or a light meal any time.
How to serve
Serve warm with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad. Adding a dollop of salsa or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives can brighten the flavors.
Storage & leftovers
Let the frittata cool completely before storing. Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave to maintain texture.
