Kickstart Your Day with Tasty Breakfast Dishes

Every good day starts with a great breakfast, and where better to begin our meal inspiration than with a true classic: the omelette. You might not believe this, but you can get the perfect cook on your eggs when using a heatproof pan inside an air fryer. Using a little butter or cooking spray to grease the pan, you only need to pour your omelette mixture into the dish and leave it to bake for 8 minutes. The usual recommendation is two eggs mixed together with your choice of fillings (such as grated cheese and chopped ham) and leave it to bake. If you prefer a firmer finish, an extra 2 minutes is all you need. This can then be served on toast or in a bagel by using the toast setting on the smart oven and choosing your choice of colouring from ten different temperature settings: light to dark.

A second great breakfast dish for the smart oven is making French toast in the air fryer. Set the temperature to 350℉ and line the base of the basket with parchment paper. Beat together 2 eggs, 4 tbsp of milk, 1 tbsp of heavy cream, ½ tsp of vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon. Dip two thick slices of brioche or bread into the mixture and make sure they’re fully coated. Once they’re soaked through, transfer them into the hot air fryer and sprinkle over ½ tbsp of brown sugar. Cook for 6-7 minutes, then flip over the French toast, sprinkle another ½ tbsp over this side, and bake again for the same length of time. You can then serve this with berries with a dusting of powdered sugar or crispy bacon!

Turn Hangover Lunch into a Fancy Brunch with a Baked Egg Dish

The perfect lunch dish to prepare in the air fryer is spicy Bloody Mary baked eggs, perfect for preparing on the morning after a big night out on the town. Blow away the cobwebs by slicing a red onion into rings and putting them in a dish to pickle with the juice of half a lemon or lime, with the addition of a pinch of salt, sugar, and a splash of vodka. The onions will be ready in around 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, you can prepare the dish to bake in the smart oven. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan and add both a chopped red onion and around an inch of chopped celery. Add two chopped cloves or garlic and two sliced bell peppers, and once they start to brown, add two cans of chopped tomatoes with a sprinkle of sugar and seasoning. As the ingredients begin to combine, you drop three whole chillies into the mix - just put one cut lengthways into each one beforehand.

Now, use the bake function on the smart oven, and pour the mixture into the enamel dish. After fifteen minutes at 350℉ it should have become rich and thick. At this point, taste it and add any additional seasoning, including Tabasco if you like. Use a spoon to create eight gaps in the sauce and crack your eggs, one by one, into a dish, and pour them into the gaps of your mixture. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes. You want the whites to have cooked through and the yolks to still be runny. You can serve the dish with yogurt drizzled over and some toast or crusty bread.

Cook the American Classics for Dinner in the Smart Oven

A great example for a dish that comes to life in the NuWave Bravo XL Pro is good, ol’ fashioned chicken wings. Because an air fryer is like a combination of broiling and roasting, it always ensures a good crispy finish on your favourite flavoured wings.

Firstly, make sure your chicken wings have been patted dry with a piece of paper towel and drizzle with oil and your choice of seasonings: whether you want to go for a traditional lemon, garlic or herb, or you want to serve buffalo or BBQ sauce marinated wings, all types of flavouring work when cooking in this smart oven. So long as you arrange the wings in a single layer of the basket, or across both cooking racks if you’re making a feast, all it takes is 16 minutes on the air fryer setting at 400℉. Halfway through, give the basket a shake or turn the wings if on the racks, and this guarantees an even cook. They should be eaten as soon as they’re crispy and golden brown.

You can’t have chicken wings without a side of your choice, and one dish that really shines in the smart oven is sweet potato fries. These also require air frying at 400℉ but only for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through the time. If you slice the sweet potato in a uniform way, making sure that the fries are all roughly the same size, then you should get an even cook through. Another favourite side is mozzarella sticks, which take just 8-10 minutes to cook at 360°F in the air fryer.

Conclusion

Ultimately, the Bravo XL smart oven excels at everything you need it to do, and its flexibility makes it a mainstay in your kitchen, no matter the mealtime. The functions are easy to use, making it an essential for cooks of all abilities and ages.
