| Air Fryer Breakfast Omelette |
If you’ve opened TikTok or Instagram Reels anytime in 2025, you’ve seen it: a golden, sky-high omelette that puffs up like a soufflé, gets gently folded in half, and slides out of the air fryer looking like pure breakfast perfection. Over 250 million views and counting under FluffFoldFeast and AirFryerOmelette – and for good reason.
This isn’t your mom’s flat, rubbery omelette. This is the fluffiest, creamiest, most photogenic high-protein breakfast you’ll make in under 10 minutes with zero oil splatter.

- Looks straight out of a 5-star hotel brunch
- Cooks perfectly every single time
Ingredients (1 large serving – ~320 calories)
- 3 large eggs (room temperature is key)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk
- Pinch of salt & black pepper
- ⅓ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack)
- Optional high-protein fillings: – Turkey or beef bacon bits – Spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers – Cherry tomatoes, green onions – Smoked salmon + dill (luxury version
The 3 Magic Steps: Fluff, Fold & Feast
- Fluff (The Secret to Hotel-Level Puff) In a bowl, whisk eggs + heavy cream vigorously for 45–60 seconds until frothy and doubled in volume. This traps air and creates that insane rise.
- Fold (The Viral Move) Pour mixture into a 6–7 inch round heat-safe dish or cake pan that fits your air fryer. Sprinkle cheese and fillings on one half only, then gently fold the other half over like a half-moon using a silicone spatula. This fold forces it to rise upward instead of spreading flat.
- Feast (Cook & Be Amazed) Air fry at 360°F (180°C) for 6–8 minutes. DO NOT open the basket for 5 minutes, or it will deflate. At minute 6, you’ll see it’s magically doubled in height and golden on top.
Slide it out, top with avocado, hot sauce, or everything bagel seasoning, and watch jaws drop.
Pro Tips for Maximum Fluff
- Use room-temperature eggs
- Don’t skip the heavy cream – it’s the #1 fluff hack
- Use a tiny pinch of baking powder (⅛ tsp) for extra lift on lazy days
- Parchment paper or a light oil spray on the dish prevents sticking
- For a sweet version: add cinnamon, vanilla, and sugar-free sweetener → becomes a French-style cloud omelette
This recipe is single-handedly responsible for thousands of new air fryer purchases in 2025. Once you try the Fluff, Fold & Feast method, you’ll never go back to stovetop omelettes again.
