  1. 1

    Preheat a 5.8-quart or larger air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) following the manufacturer's instructions.

  2. 2

    Coat the bottom and sides of a small metal inner pot, about 6 inches wide and 4 inches tall, with cooking spray.

  3. 3

    Add butter for flavor, place the inner pot in the air fryer, and melt the butter for 45 seconds. Add the bell pepper and the onion and cook for 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Carefully take out the inner pot and stir in the sausage crumbles. Sprinkle with Colby Jack cheese and set aside.

  5. 5

    Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, and hot sauce; stir to mix. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage mixture in the inner pot and lightly combine.

  6. 6

    Return the inner pot to the air fryer basket and cook until the top of the frittata is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Continue air-frying in 30-second intervals until the frittata is set. Serve warm or at room temperature with salsa.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
