Luxurious Egg Curry

Ingredients

4 servings

1 serving cooking spray 4 eggs 3 tablespoons heavy cream 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (Optional) ½ cup shredded Jack cheese ¼ cup chopped green chiles (such as Ortega®) 3 tablespoons diced tomatoes 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare Frittata Mixture

Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F. While it’s heating up, spray a 6-inch cake pan with some nonstick cooking spray to keep the frittata from sticking. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream until smooth. Then, fold in the bacon, Jack cheese, chiles, tomatoes, onion, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Give everything a good stir to mix it all evenly.

Air Fry the Cake

Pour the mixture into your prepared cake pan and carefully place it in the air fryer basket. Let it cook for about 10 minutes. If you notice the top is getting too brown before it’s fully set, just cover it loosely with foil and keep cooking. Continue air frying for another 6 to 10 minutes, or until a toothpick poked in the center comes out clean. Once it’s done, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This dish is quick to make and packed with bold flavors. The air fryer gives it a light, fluffy texture without needing extra oil. It’s a great way to enjoy a protein-rich meal any time of day.

Serving Suggestions

Serve warm with a side of fresh greens or avocado slices. A dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of hot sauce can add extra creaminess and spice. It also pairs well with crusty bread or a light salad.

Storage Tips

Let the frittata cool completely before storing. Keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave to maintain its texture.
