🔪 Step 1: Prepare the Basket

2. Lightly spray or brush with oil.

3. Press parchment into the basket so it forms a shallow bowl shape.

⚠ Make sure parchment doesn’t block air circulation completely.

💡 Tips for Success

• Don’t overfill — egg mixture rises while cooking.

• If using water-packed tuna, drain very well to avoid excess moisture.

• For thicker frittata, reduce milk slightly.

• Smaller air fryers may need slightly longer cooking time.
