Eggs are good for any meal of the day in our house. This Air Fried Herb and Cheese Frittata is delicious and comes together so easily, you’re going to love it and it’s a great base recipe for any kind of air fried frittata.
Air Fried Herb and Cheese Frittata
I’ve made several frittatas in my Instant Pot, like my Ham & Pepper Frittata , or my Asparagus and Cheese Frittata , but I hadn’t ever made an air fried frittata before. I decided I wanted to figure out how to do that because I love how easy my Air Fryer is to use!
I use my Instant Pot so often that sometimes it just isn’t available for me to use because I’m cooking something else in it.
The cheese on the top of this Air Fried Herb and Cheese Frittata turns out so crispy and delicious, all while the eggs stay light and fluffy on the inside! The herbs in this recipe give it such a fresh flavor profile and it’s the perfect brunch recipe.
As I mentioned earlier, use this as a base recipe and use whatever herbs you have at hand, or what you know your dinner companions will love.
And if you’re looking for more deliciously cheesy air fryer recipes, my Air Fryer Cheese Biscuits are the perfect little scrumptious morsels for parties.
This recipe also makes a great dish for a Mother’s Day brunch or would pair well with my Keto Breakfast favorite Silver Dollar Pancakes! Check out my Keto Mother’s Day Brunch Recipes post for more great ideas!

What Does Sauerbraten Mean?
Sauerbraten is a traditional German roast dish. It translates as sour roast because it’s made with pickling spices as well as conventional roast ingredients. It can be made with a variety of different meats, but for this recipe I use beef.
What Cut Of Meat Is Sauerbraten Made Of?
There are several different types of beef you can use for this Sauerbraten recipe, such as Rump Roast, Eye of Round, and Chuck Roast. Basically, if you would use it for Pot Roast , you can use it for Sauerbraten.
I chose to use Rump Roast for this recipe because it’s what I just happened to have in my refrigerator.
What Does Sauerbraten Taste Like?
This Instant Pot Sauerbraten is definitely a roast recipe you will want to try. This comes out incredibly tender and has a flavor like no other roast dish you’ve had. The ginger snaps at the end give it such an aromatic and sweet quality that you will love !
Ingredients You’ll Need
Don’t let the long list of ingredients in this recipe scare you off before you even get started. Many of them are kitchen staples. That being said, try not to omit any of them if you want a truly authentic experience.
Here’s what you need to shop for before getting started:
Make the Spice Packet
- Pickling spices
- Juniper berries
- Bay Leaves
For the Meat
- Beef Rump Roast - You will want to cut this into three large pieces for faster cooking.
- Sliced Onions
- Large chopped carrots
- Chicken Broth
- Red Wine Vinegar
- Minced Ginger
- Brown Sugar
- Kosher Salt
- Ground Black Pepper
For Finishing
- Crushed gingersnaps
- Sour cream
- Coarse-Ground Mustard
How To Make Sauerbraten
So the first thing you’re going to ask me is, why did I not marinate the Sauerbraten for 3 days as any reasonable person would?
Well, I did. I marinated one batch for 3 days, another for 1.5 days, and the third batch, I made with no marinating at all. And guess what?
They all tasted the same.
None of us four testers could pick out which Sauerbraten Recipe was which. So of course, in the interests of #ruthlessefficiency, I have written the recipe so that you can slap it together on any day at all, with almost no pre-planning.
- For the spice packet : Place pickling spices, juniper berries, and bay leaves into a cheesecloth bag and place into the inner liner of the Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
- Place the beef into the inner liner of the instant pot. Add onions, carrots, ginger, sugar, salt, and pepper. Pour over the red wine vinegar and chicken broth.
- Set the Instant Pot at High pressure for 40 minutes. When cook time is complete, let the pot sit undisturbed for 10 minutes, and then release all remaining pressure.
- Open the lid and remove the beef from a serving tray. Cover with foil and let it rest. Discard the cheesecloth bag.
- Add in crushed gingersnaps, sour cream (if using), and mustard. Use an immersion blender to blend the vegetables until a rough sauce forms. Pour over the meat and serve.
What To Serve With It
I love cooking this in the Instant Pot because it’s simple enough for a weeknight dinner, but also nice enough to present to guests. Serve it with mashed potatoes or spaetzle for the most traditional pairing. Or, if you are doing low carb, you could serve it with riced cauliflower, or steamed veggies.
How Long Does It Last?
This Sauerbraten recipe calls for a three-pound roast, so it does make a significant amount of food. If you have leftovers (we certainly did) you can expect them to last up to 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
