Air Fryer Quiche

This is how to make a crustless air fryer quiche packed with eggs, bell peppers, onions and cheese. Using a springform pan it is easy to “bake” this old fashioned breakfast your whole family will love.

You could call this a frittata or omelette too but whatever you say it is an amazing breakfast. Packed with eggs, cheese and vegetables it’s a low card air fryer recipe everyone loves.

Can you tell I just couldn’t decide what to call this thing?? It’s kinda’ a cross between all three but I will just move on to the good stuff….. If you love our Bisquick zucchini quiche or our traditional one with spinach but want to make a smaller version this is a great idea for you. Using a small ceramic dish or pan it is the perfect breakfast or brunch for the two of you.

This is what we typically make after the holidays with bacon and/or make as a leftover ham recipe. A great way to use it up for breakfast for our family or when we have others over for brunch.

Ninja Foodi Option

You see, we have chickens. Like a lot of them. SO that means we have A LOT of eggs. Yep, eggs for breakfast, lunch and dinner around here. I am not complaining. It is one less thing to buy from there store.

I also know they are free range organic babies, every single one. If you don’t live in the boonies like we do, just buy some at the store along with your add ins and we can get going. 😉

This is what was added this go around. I mean there is great variations to this breakfast quiche according to your taste buds. Make vegetarian or a meat lovers version with air fryer bacon or other diced up meat if you like.

I have made this killer easy spinach quiche recipe for years. You could in fact use refrigerated pie crust with this filling too. Ingredients and items needed:

Ingredient Notes

• Eggs ideally are closer to room temperature, organic and free range for best results.
• Milk or heavy cream is thicker for a fluffier texture. You can use a dairy free variety if need be. Cashew is preferred over almond milk.
• Shredded cheese(s) like cheddar and Pepper Jack is my favorite combo if you want a bit of spicy to it
• Diced bell peppers and onions work great to add more flavor and texture to it. I use green peppers and yellow onions.
• Precooked finely diced ham or other meat is optional. Bacon works too but either way you need them to be cooked and browned ahead of time.
• Seasonings such as salt and pepper or whichever you want for flavor

You are going to need 4″ springform pan (what we used) or oven safe ceramic dish so you can lift it out easily.

Variations

You could add green onions to your breakfast frittata too. Remember to preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes before putting your prepared pan into your air fryer basket.

How long to cook frozen quiche in air fryer?

If you wanted to buy a frozen version at the store you would just follow the oven directions on the back but use this instead. I would cover the crust edges with foil so they don’t get too browned. Remove a few minutes near the end so they can crisp up just a bit for you.

You will want to preheat to 350F. for 5 minutes while you’re unwrapping everything. Place into the basket while still frozen. Close the lid of the machine that is attached and cook for 20-23 minutes or until the center of it reaches 165 degrees F. If there is a crust you may want to cover it all the way around with foil and take that off in the last 5 minutes or it will get too brown.

Let’s get started to make this easy Cosori recipe. Use a large bowl to whip up your egg mixture. This will make one 4″ that will serve 1-2 people. You could make more and just rotate them in one at a time. Here are a few questions you might have before you get started on this baby:

Including prep and preheating time keep in mind that this may take up to 20 minutes to complete, but cook time is about 10 min. It will vary slightly depending on what you add in there but that is a good guide for things.

FAQ

When it comes to add ins there are several options and I always suggest you use what you love or have on hand. Using multiple cheeses will give it more flavor. As far as proteins go, I have used bits of bacon bits, or use our salmon quiche recipe for another twist on things.

What cheeses can be used in quiche?

• Swiss is the most common
• Gruyere is an option as well

What goes with quiche?

Salad is often times served along side a slice. Some like a bowl of tomato basil soup, and I like a slice of air fryer bread or rolls for sure. Just make your sides quick and easy I say.

Other easy breakfast recipes you’ll love

I have made an omelette in a mug before but honestly, this turns out better. I love the crunchy browned top when this is done. The texture is just the best. Also it serves two, not just one serving.

If you have a Foodi you can opt to try our Ninja Foodi breakfast as well. It is similar but you don’t need a springform pan to make it which is nice.

Other favorites next to this one are our air fryer egg bites and air fryer breakfast stuffed peppers. You can load those up or make them super simple too. Instant Pot poached eggs are a close third.
