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.

A plate with a sliced air fryer quiche featuring vegetables like onions and bell peppers. The quiche is served on a light-colored plate on a striped cloth with red-handled forks nearby.

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

Can you tell we couldn't decide what to call this thing?? It's kinda' a cross between all three but we will 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 solid 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.

Tips: My Favorite models are the Cosori or making Ninja Foodi recipes with the lid that is attached.

It is best practice to put food into a hot basket. This is how to preheat air fryer first before adding your food so it becomes as crispy as possible. For best results, here's a printable free air fryer cooking time chart here for your fridge.

The interior of the air fryer basket is empty and features a mesh design, solid for cooking your favorite dishes like bang bang shrimp. The edge of the air fryer has a latch mechanism for securing the basket.

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. We are not complaining. It is one less thing to buy from there store.

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

We have made this killer easy spinach quiche recipe for years. You could in fact use refrigerated pie crust with this filling too.

Ingredient notes

Your Eggs ideally are closer to room temperature, organic and free range for best results.

Whole or 2% 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 our 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. We use green peppers and yellow onions.

We like to add 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.

Swaps

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 Quiche in Air Fryer

There will slightly be a range depending on the added ingredients you added. You will need 8-10 minutes total for the center to be done. Remember that when you take it out and allow it to sit before removing it will continue cooking a bit to solidify.

Can you cook a frozen quiche in air fryer?

If you wanted to buy a frozen version at the store you would follow the oven directions on the back but use this instead. We 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 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.

How do you know when it is done?

When it comes to quiche in general you want the middle to be cooked all the way thru. The egg should be firmed but still soft and no longer opaque in color. The outsides should be pulling away from the sides of the pan too which is a great sign.

Kitchen questions

Can we cook egg in air fryer?

Yes! We have done it all. Hard boiled eggs in air fryer works, along with air fryer breakfast, and now this quiche recipe We have here.

Can you heat quiche in an air fryer?

Frozen quiche that is precooked can in fact be heated in your Ninja Foodi or Cosori. Preheat for 5 minutes at 350 F, then cook for 15-20 minutes until warmed through to the center.

An air fryer with a removable basket contains a good quiche, featuring visible ingredients like tomatoes, green herbs, and cheese. The appliance is placed on a light-colored surface.

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

What goes with quiche?

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

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