How To Make Air Fryer Quiche Lorraine
Step 1: Remove pie crust from the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before preparing this recipe. Unroll the pie dough and place your tart pan on top of the crust.
Step 2: Cut a circle (it doesn’t have to be perfect) about 1 inch outside the border of the tart pan. Press the crust into the tart pan, tucking the edges down along the sides and cutting off any excess dough at the top so that the crust is even with the top of the pan.
Step 3: Place the tart pan into the air fryer basket and cook at 300 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 5 minutes. The crust won’t be fully cooked — we’re just giving it a head start before adding the filling. Sprinkle cheese into the bottom of the crust, then sprinkle bacon over the top of the cheese.
Step 4: Whisk together egg and heavy cream until smooth. Take another minute or two to whisk some extra air into the egg mixture.
Step 5: Carefully pour the egg mixture over the fillings in the crust. Some of the bacon will float to the top — that is fine. The egg mixture should just reach the top edge of the crust. Do not overfill.
Step 6: Place the prepared quiche back into the air fryer basket and cook at 300 degrees F, air fryer setting, for another 10 minutes or until the egg is set in the center. Allow air fryer Quiche Lorraine to cool for 1-2 minutes, then carefully remove it from the bottom of the tart pan with a spatula. Serve immediately or set it on a cooling rack to cool.
Air Fryer Bacon and Egg Quiche Lorraine Recipe Tips
- Choose the right dish: Use a heatproof pan or ramekin that fits snugly in your air fryer basket for even cooking.
- Precook bacon: Fry or bake bacon beforehand to ensure it’s crispy and flavorful without adding excess grease.
- Don’t overfill: Leave space at the top of the dish so the egg mixture can puff without spilling over.
- Monitor cooking time: Air fryers vary, so check a few minutes before the recommended time to avoid overcooking.
- Let it rest: Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing to help the custard set perfectly.
Storing, Freezing and Reheating Instructions
- Storing: Store leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Keep it covered to prevent it from drying out and maintain its flavor.
- Freezing: Wrap individual slices or the whole quiche tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Reheating: Reheat quiche slices in the air fryer at 325°F for 3–5 minutes or until warmed through. You can also warm it in the oven at 350°F for 10–12 minutes for a crispier crust.
Air Fryer Bacon and Egg Quiche Lorraine Recipe Faqs
Can I make this quiche ahead of time? Yes! You can prepare the quiche mixture ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before air frying.
Can I use a different type of cheese? Absolutely! Gruyère, cheddar, or mozzarella can be used in place of Swiss cheese for a different flavor.
Can I add vegetables to this quiche? Yes, sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers make excellent additions to bulk up the quiche.
Do I need to precook the bacon? Precooking is recommended to ensure the bacon is crispy and doesn’t release too much grease during cooking.
Can I use a frozen pie crust? Yes, just thaw it in the refrigerator first and trim it to fit your air fryer dish if needed.
How do I know when the quiche is done? The quiche is ready when the eggs are fully set, puffed slightly, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
