I grew up eating Quiche. It’s such an easy dish to throw together and my mother always had eggs at home so I had many strange varieties as she was trying to use leftovers.

My favorite has always been Quiche with spinach in it. The taste of spinach and cheese together really does it for me. Add to that, that this is the BEST pastry you’ll have ever tasted, making it perfect on a plate.

The English mustard, cheese, and paprika in the crust give this recipe an edge over most Quiches.

How To Make Spinach Quiche In The Air Fryer

Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the paprika, English mustard powder, salt, and cheese. Kneed with 3-4 tablespoons of cold water. Knead until a soft smooth dough has formed.

Wrap the dough with cling film and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Add to a pot the spinach, onions, nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper. Cook slowly on medium heat, covered. Remove from the heat and allow to cool somewhat. Add the remaining ingredients (except one egg) and mix well.

Take the pastry out of the refrigerator and roll it out with a rolling pin. Line a 9” Pie dish with the pastry and decorate the edges with the end of a fork. Prick the pastry all over to allow even cooking. Place the pie dish (with pastry) into the air fryer, at 320 degrees F, air fryer setting for about 8 to 10 minutes, just until golden brown.

Spoon the filling into the pie dish on top of the pastry. Beat the remaining egg and brush all over the top of the quiche.

Place back into the air fryer at 300 degrees F, air fryer setting for 10 to 15 minutes.

Allow to cool (and set) before serving.
