Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter or margarine for greasing the dish
1 tablespoon olive oil (or preferred choice of cooking oil)
½ small onion finely diced or finely sliced
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cups fresh spinach trimmed and properly washed
5 large eggs
⅔ cups Creme fraiche, milk, or heavy cream
¼ teaspoon salt (use more or less, to taste)
a pinch of nutmeg (optional)
a pinch of black pepper (use more or less, to taste)
85 grams Feta cheese (crumbled - approximately 3 oz)
8-10 cherry tomatoes halved
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

Grease an oven-safe dish with butter.
Heat oil on medium heat in a large pan. Saute the onion and garlic until translucent.
Add the spinach, stir, and cook until it’s wilted, stirring from time to time. Once the spinach has wilted, remove the pan from the heat and set it aside.
In a bowl, whisk the eggs, creme fraiche (or milk or heavy cream), salt, nutmeg, and pepper. Drain away any excess liquid from the spinach. Fold in the cooked spinach, top with the crumbled Feta cheese then combine.
Pour the egg mixture into the oven-safe dish. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and shredded cheddar cheese.
Preheat your air fryer at 350°F (or 180°C) for 5 minutes. While the air fryer is preheating, cover and seal the dish with aluminum foil, making sure to pierce a few holes in the foil to allow the steam from cooking to escape.
Air fry for 30-50 minutes, or until set and golden on top, checking every 15 minutes to ensure it does not overbrown. Once cooked allow your air fryer quiche to rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. (See notes below).

Notes

This method was tested and perfected using a Ninja Foodi multi-cooker air fryer. Every air fryer behaves differently, even two of the same model. For this reason, keep an eye on the air fryer quiche when air frying, and adjust the cooking time or the temperature that you need based on your specific air fryer! The altitude you are in as well as the age of your air fryer may also affect the results.

- Ensure your baking dish is well-greased to prevent the crustless quiche from sticking.
- To shorten the cooking time, use a shallower baking tin and divide the portion to two, if necessary.
- While I used fresh spinach for this recipe, you can also use frozen spinach. Just make sure to drain off the water before adding it to the eggs. Use other herbs and seasonings to suit your taste and preferences. Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing to achieve clean, neat slices.
