Air Fryer Three Cheese Quiche Recipe Tips

• Use a Pre-Baked Crust: For the best results, pre-bake the pie crust slightly before adding the filling to ensure it stays crisp in the air fryer.

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Let your eggs, cheeses, and sour cream come to room temperature before mixing—this helps them blend smoothly for a consistent filling.

• Avoid Overfilling: Pour the egg mixture just below the top of the crust to prevent overflow as the quiche bakes and expands.

• Check for Doneness: Cooking times may vary by air fryer. Insert a knife in the center—if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.

• Customize the Cheeses: Swap in any favorite cheeses you have on hand, like Gouda or Swiss, for a unique flavor twist.

• Let it Cool Slightly: Allow the quiche to sit for a few minutes after cooking, which helps it set and makes slicing easier.

• Freeze for Later: This quiche freezes well! Portion and freeze any extras, then reheat for a quick, delicious meal anytime.
