FAQ for

Air Fryer Tortilla Quiche Recipe

Can I make this air fryer quiche recipe ahead of time for meal prep?

Yes! Cook the quiche as directed, then store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 160°C for 2-3 minutes to restore the crispy tortilla texture and warm the filling.

What temperature should I cook tortilla quiche in the air fryer?

Cook at 180°C (356°F) for 10-12 minutes. Preheat your air fryer for 3 minutes first. The eggs should be set and the tortilla edges golden brown when done. Check at 8 minutes to monitor progress.

Can I use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas for this recipe?

Absolutely! Corn tortillas work great and make the recipe gluten-free. They may be slightly more fragile, so press gently into the ramekins. Cooking time remains the same at 180°C for 10-12 minutes.

How do I prevent my air fryer breakfast quiche from sticking to the ramekins?

Spray your ramekins generously with cooking spray before pressing in the tortillas. This ensures easy removal after cooking. Let the quiche cool for 2-3 minutes before attempting to remove from ramekins.

What vegetables work best in air fryer tortilla quiche cups?

Bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes work excellently. Pre-cook watery vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini for 2 minutes first. Keep diced pieces small for even cooking and distribution.
