Description

Air Fryer Easy Quiche Recipe -- This recipe is for an easy quiche recipe. I've used an air fryer to make it, and it's been a lifesaver! It saves me time, energy, and money that I would otherwise spend on cooking in the kitchen.

Ingredients 

  • 1 pie crust, (either homemade or pre-made)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 stalk scallion, diced

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the eggs, cream, salt, and black pepper.
  • Then fold in the cheese.
  • Add in the diced green onions.
  • In the quiche pan, add the pie crust.
  • Press along the edges and get rid of the excess. This quiche pan works because it's thin.
  • Pour the filling in.
  • Set the pan into the air fryer, set the temperature to 320 degrees F (air fryer setting) for 12 minutes. Mine was not done at 12 minutes, so I added another 5 minutes. The exact time will depend on how big the quiche is, how thick your pan is, and what type of air fryer you own. The more miniature quiches will take a shorter time, so keep on checking.
  • Let cool slightly before serving.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mini Tart Pans

Notes

Notes

 
  1. Leaving it in the air fryer too long, you want a quiche that bounces just a little, when you go and cut, it, otherwise if it's firm, it just means that it has been overbaked, you want a light and fluffy quiche.  So, cook until the edges are just set, just a little brown on the edges.
  2. Find an air fryer-safe pan that is deep enough to hold your crust and your filling but leaving a couple of inches of space between the filling and the edge of the pan. Otherwise, the ingredients might fly around the air fryer.
  3. Leftovers make for unique add-ins to the quiche, so check your refrigerator before you "complete making yours," there is always something good to add in from the fridge. Anything in your refrigerator is a fair game from cheese, meats, seafood, poultry, or vegetables.
  4. All filling ingredients should be cooked, not raw.
  5. Frozen pie shells make excellent dough for the quiche. Just bake your shell first. Otherwise, you will end up with a soggy crust.
  6. Quiche continues to cook after you remove it from the oven, so it will firm up quickly after it's removed from the heat source (oven or air fryer)
  7.  If your quiche is overcooked, it will start to curdle.
