  • ¼ cup cooked ham diced
  • ¼ cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer at 360°F (182°C). Please see note if your air fryer is 4 quarts or smaller.
    Preheating Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer to 360°F (182°C).

  • Air fry frozen pastry shells for 3-5 minutes, no need to thaw. This step will help prevent the egg tarts from being undercooked.

Notes

  • For 4-quart air fryers and smaller, reduce the cooking temperature to 340°F (171°C). They generate more heat because of the heating element's proximity to the food.
  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, set your desired temperature then let it cook for 4-5 minutes without food.
  • Only use precooked meat for the filling. At 6-8 minutes of cooking time, we're primarily ensuring that the eggs are cooked, so there wouldn't be enough time to cook raw meat.
  • I used a 6-quart Instant Pot Vortex Plus to test the mini quiche air fryer recipe. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
