Air Fryer One Dish Crustless Tomato and Onion Quiche {Recipe}

About a month ago I was sent an Avalon Bay Air Fryer from Air and Water to test out. I was pretty excited as I first learned about air fryer technology at the Big Summer Potluck 4 a couple of summers ago. Since we have gotten it, I’ve been experimenting like crazy.

First of all let me say that I was worried that it would be just one more thing to find a space for in my kitchen. And honestly, it holds a welcome place. It has a fabulous handle that makes it very portable and fits easily in a cabinet below our island.

Another reservation that I had about this machine was how easy it was to clean. That is another big one for me. I HATE applicances that have tons of nooks and crannies making it hard to clean them. I assure you, the Avalon Bay Air Fryer is not one of them. There are two removable parts that need to be cleaned and they easily can be placed in the dishwasher or hand washed. Easily.

Okay, now that I got that out of the way, let’s chat about cooking in it. I have done some experimenting and I still am not done with it. It is an appliance that is extremely easy to use but one that you definitely need to play around with when it comes to cooking times/temps to get the perfect recipe if you are cooking from scratch. If you are cooking frozen foods, go on ahead…it works perfectly! It even cooks faster than the oven and I imagine uses a bit less energy too (though I am not entirely sure;).

Here are some of my thoughts on the machine and a peek at the first thing we cooked in it (not the quiche - for that you’ll need to wait until the end!):

So clearly I tested out some fresh french fries in it first and they were phenomenal right off the bat. The kids ask me to make them every single day. And I will happily oblige.

Next I tested out some fish sticks made from fresh cod from Whole Foods. They turned out really good. Much like breaded fish though so I need to perfect this recipe a bit.

And then… I whipped up a quiche. It was a test. And it was perfect. Literally perfect.

I grabbed a ramekin, put all of the ingredients in, whisked with a fork and cooked in the Air Fryer. Perfection came out. An egg souffle of sorts though it reminded me much of fresh veggie quiches I enjoy making. I seriously am so in love with this recipe. Every morning I spend time making breakfast for everyone else. I am making these the night before and popping them in the Air Fryer in the a.m. while I am making everyone else’s breakfast!!

So here’s the recipe!
