Notes

Cooking time is an estimate and depends on your air fryer and dish.
The egg mixture must reach 160°F (71°C); do not serve it with an undercooked center.
Nutrition is estimated before optional tomatoes and milk.
Times and nutrition are estimates. Follow your appliance instructions and check doneness.
Never preheat with a loose parchment liner. Keep any liner secured beneath food and away from the heating element.
