Description

Make a healthy and delicious Air Fryer Egg White Quiche with fresh veggies and cheese in a flaky crust. Perfect for breakfast or brunch, this light yet satisfying quiche is easy to prepare and packed with flavor!

Ingredients 

  • 6 inch pie crust dough, (cut from refrigerated pie crust - about ⅓ crust)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetables, cooked
  • 1/8 cup cheddar cheese, grated
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Remove refrigerated pie crust from the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before preparing quiche.
  • Unroll pie crust dough and place your tart pan on top of the crust. Cut a circle (it doesn’t have to be perfect) about 1 inch outside the border of the tart pan. 
  • Press the crust into the tart pan, tucking the edges down along the sides and cutting off any excess dough so that the crust is even with the top of the pan. 
  • Place the tart pan into the basket of the air fryer and cook at 300°F for 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle grated cheese into the bottom of the cooked crust. 
  • Whisk together egg whites and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy. 
  • Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cheese in the crust. The egg mixture should reach the top edge of the crust. Do not overfill. 
  • Top with a pinch of salt and pepper. 
  • Place the prepared quiche back into the air fryer's basket and cook at 300°F for another 10 minutes or until the egg is set in the center. 
  • Allow to cool for 1-2 minutes, and then carefully pop the quiche from the tart pan. Use a spatula to remove the quiche from the bottom plate of the tart pan and serve immediately or set it on a cooling rack to cool. 
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Quiche Pan, or Tart Pan, I used **5 inch tart pan with removable bottom
  • Cooking Spray

Notes

  • Cheese is optional but adds some nice flavor and a little color. You can use a reduced-fat cheese or omit it altogether. 
  • Egg whites that you can buy in a carton will work just fine for this recipe. Refer to the chart on the carton for the amount that equates to two egg whites. 
  • You may be able to fit two quiches into the air fryer at once. Test out the space before filing the tart pans. Cooking two at once did not affect the cooking time in my air fryer but adjust accordingly. 
  • I found the best results by pre-cooking the crust for about 5 minutes before adding the filling. Otherwise, the crust does not cook on the bottom by the time the egg filling is set.
  • Adjust the amount of heavy cream you add if you need a bit more filling. You may not use all of the egg fillings either. You can fill to the top of the crust edge, but the amount of egg needed will vary slightly depending on how many other ingredients you’ve added to the quiche. 
  • To reheat the quiche, place them back into the air fryer at 300° until warmed through.
