Trader Joe's Quiche Air Fryer

Trader Joe’s Quiche Air Fryer

Trader Joe’s Quiche in the air fryer emerges perfectly crispy and deliciously warm. It’s your next effortless brunch favorite that you’ll find yourself craving again and again.

  • Total Time: 20-25 minutes
  • Yield: Depends on the size of the quiche, usually 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Trader Joe’s frozen quiche (any flavor you like)
  • Fresh herbs for garnish, if you want to add a touch of color (think parsley or chives)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Start with a Trader Joe’s frozen quiche of your choice. There’s no need to thaw it; the air fryer works great with frozen foods.
  2. Selecting the Right Quiche: Choose a quiche that fits the size of your air fryer basket. A smaller quiche is easier to cook evenly. For flavor, pick one that suits your taste preferences, whether it’s Lorraine, spinach, or mushroom.
  3. No Seasoning Needed: Since we’re working with a pre-made quiche, there’s no need for additional seasoning. Trader Joe’s quiches are already seasoned to perfection.
  4. Preheat the Air Fryer: While not always necessary, preheating your air fryer to 350°F (about 175°C) for a few minutes can help cook the quiche evenly right from the start.
  5. Placing the Quiche in the Basket: Remove the quiche from its packaging and place it in the air fryer basket. Make sure it’s centered and not touching the sides to allow air to circulate freely.
  6. Cooking Temperature and Time: Cook the quiche at 350°F (175°C). For a crispier crust, you might increase the temperature slightly, but start with 350°F to ensure even cooking. The cooking time will be about 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of the quiche and your air fryer model.
  7. Importance of Temperature and Time: The chosen temperature and time are crucial for ensuring the quiche cooks through without burning the crust. A lower temp might leave the center cold, while too high could overcook the edges.
  8. Checking for Doneness: Halfway through cooking, check on the quiche. If it’s browning too quickly, lower the temperature slightly. The quiche is done when the center is hot and the crust is golden brown.
  9. Serving: Let the quiche stand for a few minutes after cooking. This allows it to set for easier slicing. Serve warm. A simple green salad on the side complements the quiche beautifully.

Notes

  • No need to oil the basket; the quiche won’t stick.
  • If using a smaller air fryer, you might need to cook in batches.
  • Remember, all air fryers are a bit different. Adjust the cooking time and temp as needed based on your first try.
