Notes

Don't skip cheese. It adds creaminess and taste.

Any melting cheeses like shredded cheddar, mozzarella or Mexican blend are all great options.

Thsi is a basic omelet recipe. You can mix in chopped red onions, bell peppers, ham, bacon, asparagus, tomatoes or jalapeno peppers along with the eggs. Make sure that the vegetables are not of high moisture content like mushrooms, zucchini or spinach.

Pan size - I used the Instant Vortex 6-quart air fryer, which comfortably accommodates a 6-inch pan.

Adjust cooking time of increasing or decreasing the number of eggs used.
