Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Quiche
Don’t overfill your dish — egg mixture will rise.
Slice tomatoes thinly to avoid excess moisture.
Add a bit of cheese on top for a golden crust.
For a firmer texture, use cream instead of milk.
Always cook at medium heat so the quiche cooks evenly without burning.
Let it rest before serving.
