Pie Pan an 8-inch pie pan fits perfectly into my air fryer basket
- 1 pound frozen hash browns thawed
- 1 ½ teaspoons sea salt divided
- 4 tablespoons ghee melted, divided
- 1 cup mushrooms sliced
- 1 leek sliced
- 1 cup raw cashews
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 6 large eggs whisked
Soak the cashews in cold water for at least 6 hours. Alternatively, you can boil the cashews for 10 minutes. Drain.
Pre-heat the air fryer to 400ºF.
Place hashbrowns on a large kitchen towel, and squeeze out as much water as possible. In the 8-inch pie pan, mix hash browns, melted ghee, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Press hash browns up the sides of the pie pan. Air fry for 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
While the crust is cooking sauté mushroom and leeks in 2 tablespoons of ghee. Cook on medium heat making sure not to burn the leeks. It should take about 10 minutes before the leeks are nice and tender. Set aside.
In a blender, combine cashews, almond milk, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon of salt, and Dijon mustard. Blend for 1 minute until smooth and creamy. Add in eggs and blend slowly for 30 seconds to incorporate.
Turn down the air fryer to 325ºF. Spoon the mushroom-leek mixture on top of the hash brown crust. Pour the egg custard on top and bake for 25 minutes or until the custard is set.
- Cool the quiche down to room temperature before slicing.
- Depending on your air fryer model, the cooking times can vary. If your quiche comes out runny, try adding 3-5 minutes more time.
- To reheat your quiche, place it back in the air fryer at 300ºF for 3-4 minutes.
- Use a pie or quiche pan that will fit in your air fryer basket. An 8-inch pan fits perfectly in my Gourmia Air Fryer.
