Air Fryer Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Quiche Recipe Tips
- I have made this several times over the years, using a few different models of air fryers, including the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, GoWise, PowerXL, Omni, and other Air Fryer Basket and Oven Models. The recipe will remain the same. The pan size that will fit in the air fryer will change, as will the cooking time. The key is to cook until the eggs are set.
- If your heating element is on top, you may want to blind-bake the crust first to end up with a completely baked quiche.
- For best results, use a thinner pan. If you use a thick pan, you will have difficulty with the middle of the quiche cooking.
- The baking rule for cooking quiche (even air frying them) is to continue cooking until the center is set. Place a toothpick into the center of the quiche, and it should come out clean. If you have wet batter, the quiche is not fully cooked.
Air Fryer Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Quiche Recipe Faqs
Can I use frozen broccoli for this recipe? Yes, frozen broccoli can be used, but make sure to thaw and pat it dry to avoid extra moisture.
What type of cheese works best? Cheddar is classic for this recipe, but you can experiment with other cheeses like Swiss or Gruyère for a different flavor.
How do I prevent the crust from becoming soggy? Pre-baking the crust for a few minutes in the air fryer can help it stay crisp before adding the filling.
How long will leftovers last? Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispness.
