🍽 Serves

3–4 people

🛒 Ingredients

Base

• 8 large eggs

• 2 tbsp milk or cream

• ½ tsp salt

• ¼ tsp black pepper

Filling

• 1 can (150–180g) tuna in oil or water, drained

• ¼ cup sliced green olives

• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or dill

• ¼ cup finely chopped onion (optional)

• ½ cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or mix)

Optional add-ins:

• Cherry tomatoes (halved)

• Crumbled feta

• Chili flakes

🔪 Step 1: Prepare the Basket

1. Cut a sheet of parchment paper to fit inside your air fryer 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.

🥚 Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture

1. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.

2. Stir in tuna (break into flakes), olives, herbs, onion, and cheese.

3. Mix gently to distribute evenly.

🔥 Step 3: Air Fry

1. Preheat air fryer to 170°C (340°F).

2. Pour mixture into parchment-lined basket.

3. Cook for 15–18 minutes.

It’s done when:

• Center is set (no liquid jiggle)

• Top is lightly golden

• Knife inserted comes out mostly clean

If needed, cook 2–3 minutes more.

🌟 Optional Golden Top

For extra browning:

• Increase to 180°C (356°F) for the last 2–3 minutes.

🧈 Step 4: Rest & Serve

1. Let rest 5 minutes before removing.

2. Lift out using parchment edges.

3. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

• Fresh tomatoes and cucumbers

💡 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.
