Our Ninja Foodi breakfast omelette is made with eggs, cheese, mushrooms and ground sausage (or bacon). It is a great way to make a large batch of scrambled eggs without an oven or stove.
I am obsessed with my new pressure cooker and air fryer machine, and I’m now here to share this Ninja Foodi breakfast omelette idea that came out fantastic!Added to our list of easy Ninja Foodi recipes we hope you love it as much as we did.
If you love eggs with meat and vegetables mixed together this is a great way to feed a crowd for brunch without heating up your house. Using the air fryer lid (the one that is attached) you just throw all the ingredients in, stir once and it’s ready in just 10 minutes!
If you too are obsessed with your pressure cooker and air fryer machine, here are a few resource to start with:
- You can bookmark our Ninja air fryer recipes page, we add to that weekly.
- Here’s an air fryer cooking times chart here for your fridge.
- Be sure to save this link to Instant Pot recipes for beginners too. You can use any of those in your pot too.

Ninja Foodi Scrambled Eggs
Honestly if you didn’t want to use either lid you could cook this whole thing using the saute function too. I like a bit of crispy along the edges though so I prefer to use the air crisp button on the front stirring halfway thru to rotate all the ingredients.
It is also a nice way to add an additional layer of cheese on to the top during the last minute if you want it really crispy. With 1 extra minute or so you can get an ooey gooey stringy layer of cheddar at the top which my kids fight over. 😉
When we have used leftover ham after the holidays to make this, and it is a wonderful Christmas breakfast idea too. Everyone can request what they like in it and it doesn’t take much time to make multiple batches. Serve with some Ninja Foodi muffins or Ninja Foodi yogurt and you’re set.
Ninja Foodi Omelette
This is what we call it when we add “all the things” in with our large eggs. It makes it a heartier meal with a lot of texture and flavor with veggies and meat all together. I highly suggest that you add things like;
Shredded cheddar cheese is a great add in to the mix and we add another layer on the top when done to really amp up the flavors. Pepper jack will add a bit of heat or use Swiss for a bolder richer flavor.
I like to add a bit of meat into the mixture, spicy ground sausage from Jimmy Dean gives it some heat for sure but ground beef would work too. Love bacon? Crisp a few slices of air fryer bacon and add that in too.
As far as vegetables go you could use all sorts of things. Diced onions, bell peppers or slices of mushrooms is typically what I add. You will saute these with olive oil to start with.
I wanted it to become a bit creamy so I used a can of cream of mushroom soup, could substitute for some alfredo sauce. An optional add in but delicious. If you wanted to add frozen hashbrowns too you would want to saute about 1 cup with the onions in first step.
You’re going to use two different functions on your Ninja Foodi pressure cooker and air fryer. We’re going to use the saute function first to cook our sausage, onions and soften your mushrooms a bit.
Using the Ninja Foodi air fryer lid you can get the top layer of your egg casserole just a little bit crispy…and if you add a thin layer of cheese on the top at the very end that will melt and turn wonderful too.
A gal in my Ninja Foodi recipe share group shared the idea for this egg casserole but she didn’t use any meat. It only took her 5 minutes to get the egg from raw to done however mine took closer to 10 minutes with a stir in between.
Tips
As with any of my other easy recipes it is a base for you to use and add or omit items in it. I found that the more ingredients you add to the egg base the longer it will take, obviously.
Drain any and all fat/liquid after using the saute function so that it doesn’t thin out your egg mixture. That will cause it to be loose and not cook properly. Also, stirring halfway through the cooking process is important. That way you can get everything evenly cooked as you rotate the raw uncooked egg on the bottom to the top.
Add more cheese to the top during the last 2 minutes of the air crisp cooking time if you’d like it to melt/crisp on the top. Check intermittently during the last few minutes to get the ideal texture/”doneness” for you. My husband likes a looser consistency than I do, once you make this once just note down exactly how many minutes is ideal for you.
This is what our Ninja Foodi breakfast casserole looked like when it was done! Just a little crispy on top and soft underneath but definitely cooked all the way through.
Ninja Foodi Breakfast Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup onion, diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 5 whole mushrooms, sliced
- 8 large eggs, scrambled
- 1/4 cup cream of mushroom soup, could use alfredo sauce too
- 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 3/4 cup cheese, shredded
- 1/2 lb sausage, spicy ground sausage is best
- 1 small chive, diced, optional
Instructions
- Turn your Ninja Foodi on and press saute. Add your olive oil, diced onions, and ground sausage (spicy is best) /or bacon.
- Cook until halfway done, then add sliced mushrooms. Cook until sausage is no longer pink. Press stop on machine. (if there is a lot of grease, drain)
- In a bowl scramble your eggs and pour into your Ninja Foodi with your meat.
- Sprinkle in your garlic salt, 1/2 c of shredded cheese, and add 1/4 c cream of mushroom soup or alfredo sauce can be used.
- Stir together so all of this is combined well.
- Close your air fryer lid and press air crisp button, 390 degrees for 6 minutes.
- Lift lid and stir so uncooked egg on bottom is circulated and able to cook thoroughly.
- Close lid again and set to air crisp, 390 degrees for another 4-5 minutes. Timing now will depend on how well done you like your egg/omelette. Look after 4 minutes and cook until it is the desired consistency.

Just got a ninja 9 in 1 in UK. Was looking for a breakfast recipe and found this. Was excellent, think it might become my favourite breakfast. Thank you for sharing. I cooked it on 195 for anyone in UK who might wonder about temperature conversion. The timings were the same.
OH good!
Great recipe! I added mushrooms, onions, red orange and yellow peppers, cheese and sausage. Put more cheese on top when just about done. Yummy. Thank you fro sharing! ❤
OH yay!
Would it be better to put in a pan on a trivet in the Foodi after sautéing the veggies and meat? Then add the egg mixture to the pan stir then air fry?
This was absolutely fantastic!!! Quick and easy too for being last minute. It’s my 1st ninja foodi breakfast meal. I didn’t have mushrooms so I used the Frozen Pictsweet Onion and Peppers mix. I also didn’t have Italian sausage so I substituted crumbled bacon you get in a bag from Sam’s Club. And added 2 additional eggs, Even though I was serving 6 adults. Everyone raved about it and love seeing the ninja foodi at work. Anxious to try your other recipes now!
yay so glad it was a hit
Ok is it 1/4 can of soup or 1/4 cup of soup?
1/4c
You don’t say what temps or times, kinda just guess ??? Be more descriptive
Yes it does in step 6 and 8 in the recipe card. It’s right there.
It says 390
Are you using concentrate soup or diluted??
This will be my first recipe this morning. Why do you need a liquid (soup or alfredo sauce)?
Turns out better, thins it out like if you were to add milk to scrambled eggs. Adds great flavor too
Could this be adapted for the Instant Pot?
Looks like a great breakfast! Will be trying soon
I’ve heard such great things about the Foodi and this looks like the perfect recipe to make in it! Definitely my kind of breakfast and I agree that spicy sausage is best! 🙂
Gives it such great flavor.
