Cooking an Air Fryer Quiche Lorraine is a delicious and modern twist on a classic French dish. The quiche is made with a crisp puff pastry crust that holds a rich and creamy filling of eggs, bacon, onion, and cheese, cooked to perfection in an air fryer. This recipe is not only quicker but also produces a lighter and crispier result.
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F).
- Thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Dice the bacon strips and onion.
- Add the diced bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.
- Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, and milk until well combined.
- Stir in the grated parmesan cheese.
- Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit your air fryer basket or a suitable baking dish that fits into the air fryer.
- Gently press the puff pastry into the air fryer basket or dish, making sure to cover the bottom and sides evenly.
- Trim any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
- Spread the cooked bacon and onions evenly over the pastry base.
- Pour the egg and cream mixture over the bacon and onions, ensuring an even distribution.
- Carefully place the quiche into the preheated air fryer.
- Cook at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown on top and the filling is set.
- To check for doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center of the quiche; it should come out clean.
- Remove the quiche from the air fryer and let it cool for a few minutes on a wire rack.
- Cut into slices and serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Pre-cook the bacon until it's crispy before adding it to the quiche to enhance the flavor and texture.
- Sauté the onions until they are soft and caramelized to add a depth of flavor to the filling.
- Ensure the puff pastry is thawed and slightly rolled out to fit the air fryer basket or accessories you are using.
- Whisk the eggs, cream, and milk thoroughly to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency in the filling.
- Don't overfill the quiche with the egg mixture to prevent it from spilling over in the air fryer.
