Air Fryer Quiche: Perfect Timing For A Delicious Dish

Air fryer quiches are a simple and impressive dish that can be cooked in around 20-25 minutes. The cooking time can vary depending on the model of air fryer, but the quiche is done when the centre is set and no longer wobbly. The crust should be a beautiful golden brown and the cheese melted.

Air frying a quiche at 400°F for 35-40 minutes

It is important to note that the cooking time may vary depending on the model of your air fryer. Some air fryers may take longer to cook a quiche than others. Therefore, it is essential to keep an eye on your quiche while it is cooking and adjust the timing as needed.

To ensure a perfect quiche, it is recommended to pre-bake the crust before adding the quiche ingredients. This can be done by placing a piece of foil on top of your crimped pastry to avoid burning the edges before it is cooked through. For a frozen pie crust, you can par-bake by air frying for 5 minutes at 350°F.

When combining the wet ingredients for the egg filling, use room temperature ingredients to achieve the desired consistency. This will help prevent your quiche from turning into one big scrambled egg blob! You can also add heavy cream, ham, cheddar cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper to the egg mixture for extra flavour.

Air frying a quiche at 325°F for 10 minutes

First, you'll need to prepare your quiche. Lightly grease a 5” (13cm) ceramic quiche dish. Then, distribute your chosen filling on the bottom of the dish. For example, you could use broccoli florets, or a mixture of ham, green onions, and cheese. Next, pour in your egg mixture. You can make this by whisking eggs in a large mixing bowl and adding cream, salt, and pepper. Top with grated cheese.

Now you're ready to air fry your quiche. Set your air fryer to 325°F and cook for 10 minutes. The cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn't overcook.

Once the 10 minutes are up, check that the centre of the quiche is set and no longer wobbly. If it's still wobbly, return it to the air fryer for a few more minutes. Finally, let your quiche cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Air frying a quiche at 350°F for 5 minutes

To par-bake your crust, place the frozen pie crust in the air fryer basket and air fry for 5 minutes at 350°F. While the crust is baking, you can prepare the rest of your quiche ingredients. This includes whisking your eggs until they are scrambled and combining them with other ingredients such as heavy cream, cheese, ham, green onions, salt, and pepper.

Once the 5 minutes are up, remove the crust from the air fryer and place it on a hot pad. At this point, you can pour your prepared egg mixture into the crust. It is recommended to cover the quiche with foil, ensuring it does not touch the filling, before returning it to the air fryer.

The total cooking time for your quiche will depend on the recipe you are following and the desired doneness of your quiche. Some recipes suggest air frying at 400°F for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is set and no longer wobbly. Then, remove the foil and air fry for an additional 3 to 4 minutes to brown the crust and top of the quiche.

It is important to note that cooking times may vary depending on the model of your air fryer. Always keep an eye on your quiche while it is cooking to ensure it does not overcook or burn.

Air frying a quiche until the centre is no longer wobbly

First, pre-bake the crust before adding the quiche ingredients. To ensure a beautiful golden-brown crust, place a piece of foil on top of your crimped pastry to avoid burning the edges before it’s cooked through.

Then, when combining wet ingredients for the egg and cheese filling, use room temperature ingredients to get the desired consistency from your quiche rather than one big scrambled egg blob.

Finally, top off with more cheese if desired, and return to the air fryer uncovered for just a minute or two until the quiche has golden brown edges and the cheese is melted.
