❓ Q&A: Air Fryer Mini Quiches

🔸 What can I use to cook them in?

  • Best options:

    • Silicone muffin cups (reusable and non-stick)

    • Mini ramekins

    • Store-bought mini tart shells

    • Foil cupcake liners (be sure they’re oven-safe)

🔸 Can I make them crustless?

Absolutely! Just grease your molds well. Crustless versions are gluten-free, lighter, and faster.

🔸 Can I freeze them?

Yes. Once cooled, freeze in a single layer. Reheat in air fryer at 300°F for 5–6 minutes or microwave in 30-sec intervals.

🔸 Can I make them dairy-free?

Yes! Use plant-based milk (like oat or almond milk) and skip the cheese or use a dairy-free alternative.

🔸 How do I know when they’re done?

  • The tops will puff up slightly.

  • The center should be just set, not jiggly.

  • Insert a toothpick—it should come out clean.

🔸 Can I double or triple the batch?

Yes! But air fry in batches. Don’t crowd the basket or the centers may not cook evenly.

🔸 How long will they keep?

Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Great for meal prep!

🔸 Any flavor combo ideas?

Yes! Try these:

  • Mediterranean: spinach, tomato, feta

  • Western: ham, bell peppers, cheddar

  • Mushroom Swiss: sautéed mushrooms, Swiss cheese

  • Southwest: black beans, corn, jalapeño, pepper jack.
