If you’re looking for a delicious and easy way to prepare a quiche that packs a punch, look no further than the Air Fryer Crack Quiche. This recipe, as featured by Plain Chicken, combines flavours and textures that are sure to satisfy your taste buds while also offering a quick and hassle-free cooking experience. Using an air fryer is an innovative approach that reduces cooking time and ensures a perfectly cooked quiche without the need to turn on the oven.

Ingredients

The beauty of this Air Fryer Crack Quiche lies in its simplicity and versatility. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

• 1 pre-made pie crust (shortcrust pastry)
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup of milk (full cream or semi-skimmed)
• 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
• 1 cup of diced vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, or any of your favourites)
• 1 cup of cooked and crumbled bacon or sausage (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• A pinch of nutmeg (optional)
• Fresh herbs for garnish (such as parsley or chives)

Method

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Add in the shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and meat (if using). Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix everything together until well incorporated.

2. Prep the Crust: While the filling is settling, place the pre-made pie crust into the air fryer basket. You may need to gently press it to fit, depending on the size of your air fryer.

3. Fill the Crust: Pour the egg mixture into the crust, ensuring not to overfill. Leave a little space at the top to allow for expansion.

4. Cook in the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 160°C (320°F) and cook for approximately 25 to 30 minutes. The quiche is ready when the top is golden brown and the centre is set but still slightly wobbly (like a traditional quiche).

5. Cool and Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the quiche from the air fryer and let it cool for about 10 minutes. This will help it set a little more. Garnish with fresh herbs before slicing and serving.

Tips for Success

• Experiment with Fillings: The beauty of quiche is its versatility. Feel free to customise your filling based on what you have on hand or your personal preferences. Go vegetarian by skipping the meat, or add in extra cheese for a cheesier delight.

• Check for Doneness: Always check the mid-point of the quiche with a knife. If it comes out clean, you’re good to go. If not, give it a few more minutes.

• Storage: Leftover crack quiche can be stored in the fridge for up to three days. It can also be frozen for up to two months. Reheat it in the air fryer or oven for a quick meal on the go.
