Air Fryer Crack Quiche

Introduction

Air Fryer Crack Quiche is the ultimate brunch or meal-prep recipe, loved for its irresistibly creamy filling, crispy edges, and unbeatable simplicity. This crowd-pleasing quiche gets its “crack” name from the addictively delicious combination of smoky bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, and a rich, silky egg custard—all made quicker and easier in the air fryer.

Perfect for busy mornings or feeding a weekend crowd, this recipe marries all the classic flavors you crave in quiche while slashing your prep and cook time.

Why You’ll Love This Air Fryer Crack Quiche

The magic of this recipe is in its texture and convenience. Your air fryer delivers a perfectly cooked quiche—tender, fluffy, and golden—without heating up your kitchen or requiring constant supervision. The blend of bacon, cheese, and green onions gives every bite a burst of savory flavor, while the custard stays creamy.

With virtually no fuss and little clean-up required, this quiche is always a winner at the breakfast table, brunch gatherings, or even as a make-ahead lunch.

How to Prepare Flavorful Quiche Fillings

Start by prepping your vegetables and bacon. Uniform dicing ensures even cooking, and using a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper makes quick work of onions, peppers, or any add-ins you love. For a classic “crack” flavor, stick to crisped bacon, scallions, and cheddar cheese, but feel free to toss in spinach or peppers for extra color and nutrition.

Mix your eggs, cream, and cheese with salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl until just combined. Over-mixing can cause a dense texture, so stop once everything is evenly incorporated.

Air Frying Your Quiche to Perfection

For the best results, line your air fryer basket with a square of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll or a pre-cut Air Fryer Paper Liner. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.

Pour the prepared egg mixture into a 7-inch cake pan or pie dish that fits inside your COSORI Air Fryer 9-in-1. Air fry at 350°F for 18–22 minutes. The quiche is done when the center barely wobbles and the edges are lightly golden.

Let it rest for five minutes before slicing, allowing the custard to set perfectly for those clean, satisfying wedges.

Serving and Storing Air Fryer Crack Quiche

Pair your warm quiche slices with a simple green salad or pack into a Bentgo Salad Container for a portable lunch that stays fresh. This quiche keeps well in the fridge and reheats beautifully, making it ideal for easy breakfasts all week.

Garnish with fresh herbs or extra green onions and enjoy with a chilled beverage or fruit for a well-rounded meal.
