Air-Fried Breakfast Frittata
  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 This Recipe

easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.

The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.

Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.

Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
