Egg & Veg Chapati Air Fryer Recipe – Quick Indian Breakfast Idea

Hey everyone! If you’re anything like me, mornings can be… hectic. Between getting ready and juggling a million things, a quick and satisfying breakfast is a must. I stumbled upon this Egg & Veg Chapati Air Fryer recipe a while back, and it’s become a total lifesaver. It’s fast, flavorful, and a brilliant way to sneak in some veggies first thing in the morning. Plus, it’s a fun twist on a classic Indian breakfast!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This isn’t your average egg dish. It’s a delightful fusion of Indian flavors and modern convenience. It’s perfect for busy weekdays, a light brunch, or even a quick dinner. Seriously, who doesn’t love a recipe that comes together in under 20 minutes? You’ll love how the crispy chapati base holds all the goodness, and the air fryer makes everything so easy and healthy.

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this deliciousness:

• 2 Eggs
• 20g Mushrooms, chopped
• 10g Capsicum (bell pepper), chopped
• 10g Broccoli, chopped
• 10g Peas
• 1/3 tsp Salt
• 1/3 tsp Chili Flakes (adjust to your spice preference!)
• 1/3 tsp Pizza Seasoning
• 1 Whole Wheat Chapati
• 1 tbsp Cheddar Cheese, grated

Ingredient Notes

Let’s talk ingredients for a sec! Using a whole wheat chapati adds a lovely nutty flavor and a boost of fiber – way better than just plain bread, right? And don’t underestimate the pizza seasoning! It sounds a little unexpected, but it adds such a fun, savory kick. It’s my little secret weapon.

Of course, the best part is how easy this is to customize. And did I mention how convenient the air fryer is? It cooks everything so quickly and evenly, with minimal oil. It’s a game changer!

Step-By-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s get cooking!

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the salt, and whisk everything together until it’s nice and combined. Don’t overthink it – just get it all blended.
2. Now, take your whole wheat chapati and place it in an oven-safe dish that fits inside your air fryer. Gently pour the whisked eggs over the chapati, making sure it spreads out evenly.
3. Time for the veggies! Sprinkle the chopped mushrooms, capsicum, broccoli, and peas over the eggs. Don’t be shy – load ‘em up!
4. Next, sprinkle the chili flakes and pizza seasoning over the veggies. This is where the magic happens!
5. Finally, top it all off with a generous sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
6. Pop it into your air fryer at 170°C (340°F) for about 15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it – air fryers can vary!

Expert Tips

• For a fluffier egg base, add a splash of milk or cream to the whisked eggs.
• Don’t overcrowd the dish. Make sure the veggies are spread out evenly for even cooking.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake this in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes.

Variations

This recipe is super versatile! Here are a few ideas to spice things up:

• Vegetarian Delight: My friend, Priya, loves adding spinach and paneer to this. It makes it extra hearty and delicious!
• Spice Level Adjustment: If you’re not a fan of heat, skip the chili flakes. Or, if you like things really spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
• Cheese Variations: Cheddar is great, but feel free to experiment! Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or even a sprinkle of Parmesan would be yummy.
• Quick Weekday Breakfast Adaptation: I sometimes use leftover cooked veggies from dinner to make this even faster in the mornings. It’s a great way to reduce food waste!

Serving Suggestions

This Egg & Veg Chapati is fantastic on its own, but you can also serve it with a side of:

• A dollop of plain yogurt or raita
• A sprinkle of fresh coriander (cilantro)
• A cup of masala chai – the perfect pairing!

Storage Instructions

Leftovers? Unlikely! But if you do have any, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave until warmed through.

FAQs

Let’s answer some common questions:

• Is this recipe suitable for meal prepping? Absolutely! You can assemble the chapati with the veggies and egg mixture the night before and air fry it in the morning.
• Can I use a different type of cheese? Definitely! Feel free to experiment with your favorite cheeses.
• Can I make this without an air fryer? Yes, you can bake it in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes.
• What vegetables can I substitute? Get creative! Carrots, onions, bell peppers, zucchini – anything goes!
• How can I make this recipe healthier? Use more veggies, less cheese, and opt for a whole wheat chapati. You can also use egg whites instead of whole eggs to reduce the fat content.
