Equipment

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 10 g Butter
  • 1 Onion peeled and finely chopped
  • 280 g Pancetta
  • 6 Eggs large
  • 150 ml Double Cream
  • 50 g Parmesan grated
  • Pinch of Nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 180c (350F) and line a 20cm square or round baking tin with baking paper (use whichever tin shape fits in your air fryer basket the best).
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the chopped onion and pancetta for 6-7 minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
    10 g Butter, 1 Onion, 280 g Pancetta
  • In a jug whisk together the eggs, double cream, Parmesan, nutmeg, salt & pepper. Mix in the cooked onion and bacon mix.
    6 Eggs, 150 ml Double Cream, 50 g Parmesan, Pinch of Nutmeg, ¼ teaspoon Salt, ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • Pour the egg mixture into the tin and air fry for 20-25 minutes until set. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Expert Tips:
  • Ensuring your air fryer is properly preheated to the right temperature is crucial. This guarantees your quiche starts cooking as soon as it hits the basket, resulting in a beautiful, even cook.
  • Properly lining your baking tin with baking paper will prevent your quiche from sticking and make removal much easier.
  • Each air fryer can vary slightly in temperature and power. Keep an eye on your quiche towards the end of the cooking time to ensure it doesn't overcook.
  • After your quiche is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows it to firm up, making it easier to cut into neat slices.
 
Variations:
  • For a meat-free version, omit the bacon and substitute with cooked mushrooms or baby spinach. Chopped peppers would also work well.
  • Add extra cheese to the recipe or switch up the type of cheese used. Gruyere or cheddar are great options.
  • Incorporate smoked salmon and fresh dill into your quiche mixture for a luxurious, brunch-worthy treat.
  • Swap Parmesan for goat cheese and top your quiche with cherry tomatoes for a tart and tangy variation.
  • Add fresh herbs such as thyme or chives to the egg mixture for an extra burst of flavour.
  • Pair fresh asparagus spears with nutty Gruyère cheese for a springtime variation.
  • Use a muffin tin to create individual quiches that are perfect for picnics.
 
Storage:
Store - If you have any leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for up to three days. To store your quiche, simply place it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in cling film. 
Reheat - When you're ready to enjoy your quiche again, you can reheat it in the microwave or the air fryer. You can also eat it straight from the fridge.
Freeze - The crustless quiche can be frozen for up to 3 months.
