Quiche is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed any time of day. With the convenience of an air fryer, making a quiche has never been easier or quicker. Instead of a traditional pastry crust, this recipe uses a tortilla as a base, reducing prep time and adding a delightful crunch. This tortilla quiche is perfect for busy mornings or a quick lunch. It's customizable with your choice of fillings, making it a great way to use leftover vegetables or meats. Plus, cooking it in an air fryer means less oil and a healthier meal.

Instructions

Prepare the air fryer

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (356°F) for about 5 minutes.

Pro tip: Always preheat your air fryer for consistent results.

Prepare the filling

In a bowl, combine beaten eggs, milk, cheese, ham, bell peppers, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Pro tip: Use a whisk to ensure the eggs and milk are thoroughly combined.

Prepare the tortillas

Lightly spray each tortilla with cooking spray on both sides to prevent sticking.

Pro tip: Spraying the tortillas helps them crisp up nicely.

Shape the tortillas

Place each tortilla into the air fryer basket or a small round baking dish that fits inside the air fryer, shaping it into a shallow cup.

Pro tip: Gently press the tortilla to form a cup shape.

Fill the tortillas

Pour the egg mixture evenly into each tortilla cup, filling them about three-quarters full.

Pro tip: Do not overfill to prevent spillage during cooking.

Cook the quiche

Place the filled tortillas into the air fryer and cook at 180°C (356°F) for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are golden.

Pro tip: Check after 10 minutes to avoid overcooking.
