Good to know

Chef's tip

For even cooking and to keep the filling from overflowing, use a pie dish that fits the size of your air fryer basket and don't fill it to the brim. If the top browns too quickly, you can loosely cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil toward the end of cooking.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Very well after cooking, up to 2-3 months in vacuum packaging or plastic wrap.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3-4 days max in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

You can assemble the quiche the day before without baking it. Cook before eating.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

Oven: 15-20 min at 150°C to regain the crispness. Microwave: 2-3 min, but it softens the crust.

Variations

Sprinkle generously with grated Gruyère before cooking.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the custard.
Let cool slightly before cutting.

Mistakes to avoid

Using an incompatible dish: choose a dish that suits your air fryer.
Forgetting to precook the bacon: cook it 8 to 10 minutes at 190 °C.
Cutting the quiche piping hot: let it cool slightly in the dish.
