1. Prepare the Air Fryer Basket:
1.1 Grease the Pan:
- Lightly coat the air fryer pan or baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. You can use a cake pan or a springform pan that fits in your air fryer.
2. Prepare the Quiche Filling:
2.1 Mix the Eggs and Milk:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
2.2 Add Cheese and Fillings:
- Stir in the shredded cheese, cooked bacon, chopped onions, bell peppers (if using), spinach (if using), oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Pour and Cook:
3.1 Pour into Pan:
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
3.2 Air Fry:
- Place the pan in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. You can check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
4. Cool and Serve:
4.1 Cool Slightly:
- Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing. This helps it set further and makes it easier to cut.
4.2 Serve:
- Slice and serve warm. Enjoy as a standalone dish or with a side salad for a complete meal.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Crustless Quiche:
- Customize Ingredients: Feel free to add or substitute with your favorite ingredients such as mushrooms, tomatoes, or different types of cheese.
- Check for Doneness: Since air fryers can vary, start checking the quiche a few minutes before the recommended time to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
- Even Cooking: If you’re making a larger batch or using a larger pan, you might need to cook in batches or adjust the cooking time.
Enjoy your Air Fryer Crustless Quiche as a quick, tasty, and adaptable dish that’s sure to please anyone!
