Our Family’s Favorite Air Fryer Quiche

One morning, I was craving quiche but didn’t want to wait forever for it to bake. My husband suggested, “Why not try it in the air fryer?” And just like that, we discovered a game-changer! The quiche came out perfectly set, golden, and irresistibly creamy in half the time of a traditional oven quiche.

Now, it’s a staple in our home—especially on busy mornings when we need something hearty but don’t have all day to cook. Even the kids love it, especially when I add bacon and cheese!

Cuisine: French-American

Ingredients 🛒

For the Quiche Base:

4 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream (or milk for a lighter version)
½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or Gruyère work great!)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Mix-ins:

½ cup cooked bacon or ham, chopped
½ cup sautéed spinach or mushrooms
¼ cup diced onions or bell peppers
1 pre-made mini pie crust (or use phyllo dough or go crustless!)

How to Make Air Fryer Quiche 🍳

Step 1: Prepare Your Quiche Mixture

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir in your favorite mix-ins like bacon, veggies, or extra cheese.

Step 2: Prep Your Crust (If Using)

Place a mini pie crust in an air fryer-safe dish (or use small ramekins for a crustless quiche).

Step 3: Fill & Air Fry

Pour the egg mixture into the crust or dish, filling it about ¾ full to prevent overflow.

Set your air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and cook for 15-18 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 4: Cool & Serve

Let it cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve!

Tips for the Best Air Fryer Quiche

Use an air fryer-safe dish – A mini pie tin, ramekin, or silicone baking cup works well.
Don’t overfill – The egg mixture will puff up slightly while cooking.
Check for doneness – Insert a toothpick; if it comes out clean, it’s ready!
Go crustless for low-carb – Just pour the filling directly into a greased dish.

Substitutions and Variations

Dairy-Free: Use almond or oat milk and dairy-free cheese.
Keto-Friendly: Skip the crust and use heavy cream for a creamy low-carb version.
Meat-Free: Load it up with mushrooms, spinach, and bell peppers.
Crust Variations: Use puff pastry, phyllo dough, or even a tortilla!

Make a Healthier Version
