What is air fryer omelette and why is it so viral now?
I will be honest with you! I didn’t suddenly come up with the idea of this air fryer omelette recipe on my own which may already be very obvious to you as this is everywhere on the internet!
A quick search on trending air fryer recipes got me hooked on this one and then I developed my own version of air fryer omelette after scanning through a dozen.
This air fryer version of omelette is significantly different from your regular frying pan version made on the stovetop. The major difference is in their texture.
Air fryer omelette comes out super fluffy because we use 6 to 7 eggs which make multiple servings at one go (an absolute win-win!) and it becomes thick yet succulent inside thanks to the convection cooking technique of air fryers.
But I think what made this omelette so viral is the versatility of this recipe! You can make your own custom-made omelette with your own choice of veggies making it look extremely pretty!
I am already thinking of other variations of this that I am going to make soon!
Eggs ? are a very good source of inexpensive, high-quality protein and are considered to be one of the most nutritious foods in the world. Eggs are such a versatile food, goes well with any vegetable and enhances the taste of any dish with it. If you are bored of normal egg bhurji try it with an add-on veggie to it, for a more healthy and tasty version.
Broccoli Egg Bhurji is nothing but a combination of scrambled eggs and broccoli. Broccoli with egg is an awesome combination, makes a drool-worthy side-dish, filling and protein-rich food, good to go with steamed rice and rasam or chapatis/roti/bread. As broccoli needs less cook time, this side dish can be prepared in mins. This could be a quick breakfast recipe and also a perfect dish for the lunch box.
Broccoli ? is an edible green plant from the cabbage family whose large flowering head and stalk are eaten as a vegetable. Every part of broccoli, the stalk, small leaves, and florets are edible. Usually, broccoli is sautéed, steamed, roasted, or grilled. Broccoli is a healthy addition to your diet whether cooked or raw.
Broccoli is a nutritional powerhouse full of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. We all automatically think of citrus fruits when it comes to vitamin C, but did you know that broccoli provides an excellent source of vitamin C, a nutrient known to support healthy immune response. Broccoli is also a good source of vitamin k and calcium, two vital nutrients for maintaining strong and healthy bones. Broccoli is definitely a nutrient-rich vegetable that may enhance your health in a variety of ways.
Like all vegetables, broccoli has many different varieties. Regular Broccoli has a slightly bitter flavor compared to baby broccoli(Broccolini), which has more mild, with a sweet, earthy taste. And while regular Broccoli can be eaten raw, Broccolini is best when cooked. Today I am using regular Broccoli for making this bhurji.
My kids are not a big fan of broccoli. I somehow wanted to incorporate more broccoli in our diet. Luckily this method worked for me. Kids loved this combination of broccoli ? egg ?and I have no hard time giving broccoli to my kids. They even love it for their lunch box. It a great way to add this nutritious veggie to our diet, by making it more healthy, tasty and delicious. We like this bhurji as simple as in the recipe. But you could add spices like garam masala, crushed garlic, and chili powder to enhance the flavor.
Do give a try. Broccoli Bhurji is Egg-stremely delicious!!!!
