Philips Air Fryer HD9630

For most of my air fryer recipes, I use the Philips HD9630 Air Fryer. It's larger than most air fryers and I also love the white color and the design. It also doesn't become an eyesore while sitting on your countertop.

STEP#1: Mix The Filling

Before you begin, make sure you are using a quiche dish that is oven-safe. I think a 5" Ceramic Quiche Dish works perfectly for 1-serving.

The fillings for air fryer quiche can vary according to your imagination, but I love the easy and simplicity of a broccoli and cheddar quiche because it's so quick! There's no need to cook the broccoli first it can be placed in the dish raw.

The quiche takes 10-minutes in the air fryer and during that time the broccoli is cooked to perfection. It comes out bright green and tender and no overcooking. Overcooked broccoli, not a good thing!

More Quiche Fillings:

Tomato and Mozzarella. Garnish with fresh basil
Spinach and Cheese
Cooked bacon and Cheddar
Mushroom and Thyme
Smoked Salmon, Goat Cheese, and Dill
Gruyere Cheese and Crispy Leeks (cook leeks first in a skillet with olive oil until crispy)

STEP#2: Create the Egg Custard

In a pyrex pitcher, you'll crack one egg, then fill the rest with heavy cream until you reach ½ cup.

Then just whisk to combine. I prefer to season with salt and pepper after the quiche is baked. I find eggs are better salted after they are cooked. A celebrity chef told me that once. I've always followed his advice and have never been disappointed!

STEP#3: Cover the Quiche Filling with Custard

Then you'll pour the custard over the broccoli. I let a few pieces of the broccoli peek through because I think it looks prettier after it's baked.

STEP#4: Add the Cheddar Cheese

I like to use the finely shredded Mexican blend cheese because it melts quicker and more evenly in the air fryer. If you can't find the Mexican blend, any "finely shredded cheese" will still be great! You could use mozzarella, Swiss or Monterey Jack.

Depending upon your model of air fryer the browning of the cheese may vary. If your air fryer browns the cheese too much, you can also try stirring it into the egg custard instead.

STEP#5: Place the Quiche in The Air Fryer

Place your quiche dish in the air fryer at 325F(160C) for 10 minutes. This is the secret to cooking eggs in the air fryer, you need a low temperature. This is what will make them so light and fluffy!

And when the quiche is done you'll see how beautiful it is! Lightly golden brown and puffed up. I can only fit one quiche at a time in my air fryer, but if you were making several of these, just place the cooked ones on a baking sheet in a 250F(125C) oven to keep warm.

NOTE: Various air fryer models can vary with cooking time. This time is what it took in my Philips air fryer, but if you have a different model, it could take longer.

STEP#6: Garnish and Serve!

You can season the top with a little salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste, and I also like to add some freshly chopped parsley as well! These make for a great quick and easy breakfast or serve with a tossed salad for a light dinner or lunch.
