A classic quiche is a great choice for a lazy lunch or light evening meal. Cooking the quiche in the air fryer is an even easier way to make this classic dish.

There are many variations of this classic recipe but we’re sticking with the traditional egg, bacon and cheese version.

You can either make your own pie crust or do as we have and use a premade pie crust.
