    Quiche Lorraine is a classic dish made with a buttery, flaky homemade pastry crust filled with rich custard, smoky bacon, and cheese, all baked to perfection in your air fryer.

    This light, creamy, and delicious French-inspired dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even a light dinner along with a bowl of salad. All you need is a few simple ingredients you might have on hand and a little prep work.

    Fish and Chips

    Ayla Clulee

    Fish and chips are my all-time favorite comfort food but I find the traditional deep fried ones heavy and oily. My air fryer version is perfect for making crispy fish and twice cooked chips with far less oil. This recipe is easy to follow, ready in a breeze, and gives you the same crunch and taste with fewer calories and less mess. You can prepare it in batches, and freeze for later for last minute emergencies.
