Ingredients
- egg3
- onion1 small, chopped
- tomato1 small, chopped
- green chilli1, finely chopped
- cheese2 tbsp, grated
- coriander leaves1 tbsp, chopped
Method
Whisk the eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the chopped onion, tomato, green chilli, coriander and salt, and whisk well. Beating in some air makes the omelette light and helps it set into an even sheet that rolls up neatly.
Cook the omelette
Pour the egg mix into a small air-fryer-safe pan and air fry at 160°C for 7 min until fully set and firm to the touch. It needs to be set right through with no wet patches, or it will tear when you roll it.
Fill and roll
Sprinkle the cheese over the warm omelette and roll it up tightly into a log. Rolling while it is still warm keeps it flexible so it curls without cracking, and the heat starts melting the cheese into the folds.
Crisp the roll
Place the rolled omelette seam-side down in the basket and air fry at 175°C for 4 min until the outside is lightly golden and the cheese has melted. Seam-side down holds the roll shut so it does not unravel.
