01
Prepare and Cook Frittata
Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F. While it’s warming up, spray a 6-inch cake pan with some nonstick cooking spray to keep the frittata from sticking. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream until smooth. Then, mix in the bacon, Jack cheese, chiles, tomatoes, onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper until everything is well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and carefully place it inside the air fryer basket. Cook it for about 10 minutes, then check on it—if the top is browning too quickly, cover it loosely with foil. Keep cooking for another 6 to 10 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

How to serve
Serve warm with a side of fresh greens or a simple avocado salad. It also pairs nicely with crusty bread or a light salsa for added freshness and a pop of flavor.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave to keep the texture soft without drying out.
