While I love to make quiche at home, sometimes it’s easier to let someone else do the prep work for me and go store bought. That’s why I love these air fryer frozen mini quiche. They’re a quick snack or appetizer, taking less than 10 minutes for everything, and they’re delicious too!
You can find frozen mini quiche in grocery stores and wholesale stores, like Costco or Sam’s Club. They’re usually available in an assorted variety pack of flavors, meaning you can please any palette!
These little two-bite quiche cups are absolutely perfect as a snack or appetizer, or even a light meal if you pair them with a side salad. I love them as appetizers for Christmas, New Year’s, or Easter, but they’re also perfect for your Super Bowl party or tailgating as a lighter option.
The air fryer does such a great job of cooking your mini quiche up quickly, and since there’s no prep work involved, they’re ready to enjoy in under 10 minutes total! They come out lightly browned, warm, and absolutely delicious.

There are lots of great options to serve with mini quiche. Tailor your selections based on the flavors of your quiche, and whether you’re serving it for breakfast or brunch, as an appetizer, or as a meal!
What’s the Best Air Fryer Temperature for Cooking Frozen Mini Quiche?
The best temperature for cooking frozen mini quiche in the air fryer is around 325°F-330°F, depending on your available settings.
While you can cook them at a higher temperature and still be successful, this causes the tops to become darker brown that would traditionally be seen on a quiche.
Can I Cook Other Foods Alongside Frozen Mini Quiche in the Air Fryer?
Yes, you can, but ensure there’s enough space for proper air circulation to cook all items evenly.
You’ll also want to make sure that different foods can successfully be cooked at the same time and temperature settings for best results.
Are There Specific Air Fryer Basket Arrangements for Frozen Mini Quiche?
Place the frozen mini quiche in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding for even cooking.
For easier cleanup, feel free to use perforated parchment or foil at the bottom of your basket. Using perforated ensures you do not block air flow, which is important in preventing soggy bottoms.
Can I Reheat Previously Cooked Frozen Mini Quiche in the Air Fryer?
Yes, you can. Air fry at a lower temperature of 320°F – 325°F and reheat the mini quiche for 3-4 minutes for a delicious warm meal.
Quiche should be stored in the refrigerator once cooked once, so you’re simply reheating from a cooled state.
Any Suggestions for Enhancing the Flavor of Frozen Mini Quiche in the Air Fryer?
Consider adding extra herbs, spices, or a sprinkle of cheese on top before or after cooking to amplify flavors.
You may also serve your quiche with complimentary sides that add flavor, such as soups, salads, or beverages.
Recipe Pro Tips

I easily fit all 10 mini quiches in my 8-qt Ninja air fryer. They were perfectly cooked and verified via instant read thermometer after 10 minutes of cooking (without preheating). Different air fryers will vary with quantity that can be fit, and cooking time needed, so be prepared to adjust slightly

These air fryer frozen mini quiche are the perfect quick snack, appetizer, brunch fare, or finger food for entertaining. They come in a variety of flavors to suit different palettes, and are something I always have on hand!
The air fryer does such a great job of getting a lightly browned exterior, flaky crust (unless you’re going no crust) and keeping the custard moist and delicious.
Your mini quiches will be ready in less time than it would take the oven to even preheat, and with a much better texture than you could get in the microwave.
