Notes
Don’t Overfill the Pan
When pouring your egg mixture, leave about ¼ inch of space from the top of the pan to allow the quiche to rise slightly. Overfilling can cause spillage in the air fryer, which can be hard to clean up. Check for Doneness with a Toothpick
Just like with a cake, insert a toothpick in the center of the quiche. If it comes out clean or with minimal crumbs, the quiche is done. If the center is still wet, air fry for another 3-5 minutes. Let the Quiche Cool Before Slicing
Allow your quiche to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing to let it set. This helps the texture firm up, making it easier to cut neat slices without falling apart.
