Air Fryer Broccoli and Cheddar Cheese Quiche
Description
Creamy broccoli cheddar quiche with a crisp, flaky crust — made entirely in the air fryer. Includes cook times for every pan size and a crustless low-carb option.
Ingredients
- 1 frozen pie crust, 9-inch
- 2 cups broccoli florets, cut small
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 large eggs
- 1½ cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
- Place the frozen pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate or thin tart pan. Air fry at 320°F for 5 minutes to blind bake.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl until fully combined. Whisk in the milk.
- Stir in the broccoli, shredded cheddar, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the filling into the par-baked crust, leaving ¼ inch of headroom.
- Air fry at 320°F for 32–40 minutes, until the edges are set and the center has only a slight wobble. Tent with foil if the top browns before the center sets.
- Rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Equipment
- Air Fryer, Air Fryer Basket or Air Fryer Oven
- Tart Pan, or Thin Baking Pan
- Cooking Spray
Notes
- 6" pan (3–4 qt air fryer): 2 eggs + ¾ cup milk, 18–22 minutes.
- 7" pan (5–6 qt air fryer): 3 eggs + 1 cup milk, 22–28 minutes.
- Crustless: grease the pan, skip the crust, air fry 15–18 minutes in a 7" pan.
- Use the thinnest pan you have. Thick ceramic dishes prevent the center from cooking.
- Thaw and thoroughly dry frozen broccoli before using.
