Quiche Ingredients
- 2 Free Range Eggs
- 1/4 cup Cottage Cheese
- 1 Whole Wheat Tortilla
- 1/2 cup Fresh Baby Spinach
- 2 tablespoons Smoked Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 325 degrees F (170 degrees C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for cooking the tortilla quiche evenly.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the 2 free range eggs and 1/4 cup cottage cheese until well combined and smooth, creating a creamy base for the quiche filling.
- Assemble Quiche: Place the whole wheat tortilla inside a round cake pan, carefully shaping it into a bowl form to hold the mixture. Pour in the egg and cottage cheese mixture, then evenly distribute 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach over the top followed by 2 tablespoons of smoked cheddar cheese.
- Cook: Air fry the assembled quiche at 325 degrees F for 12 minutes, or until the egg is fully set and the cheese has melted, creating a warm, savory quiche with a crispy tortilla crust.
