Servings: 6 slices
Equipment
- 7-inch round cake pan
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 Refrigerated Pie Crust (from a standard roll)
For the Filling
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk
- 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/8 tsp Ground Nutmeg
- 4 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup Gruyere Cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Red Onion, finely diced
- 2 tbsp Fresh Chives, chopped
Instructions
- Unroll the refrigerated pie crust and gently press it into a 7-inch round cake pan or pie dish that fits inside your air fryer. Trim any overhanging dough and press the edges against the sides of the pan. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust several times to prevent puffing.
- Preheat the air fryer to 320 degrees F. Place the crust-lined pan in the air fryer and bake for 5 minutes, just until it begins to look dry and slightly set. Remove and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg until thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Scatter the crumbled bacon, shredded gruyere cheese, and diced red onion evenly across the bottom of the par-baked crust.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture over the filling ingredients. Sprinkle the chopped chives on top. Do not overfill - leave a small gap below the rim of the crust.
- Place the quiche in the air fryer and cook at 320 degrees F for 22 to 26 minutes, until the center is just set and a knife inserted near the middle comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover loosely with a small piece of foil for the last few minutes.
- Remove the quiche carefully and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time lets the custard firm up for clean slices.
