Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread toast
- Sausages (adjust to your liking)
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (approx. 120ml)
- Shredded cheese (generous amount)
- Bell pepper (a little of each color, adjust to your liking)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To make the bread toast quiche, first carefully cut off the hard crusts from the bread slices with a knife, and prepare only the soft center part. This way, the bread crusts will become deliciously crispy, like bread rusks, when baked.
Step 2
If you lightly butter the trimmed bread crusts and bake them in an oven or air fryer, you’ll create delightful ‘bread rusks.’ Enjoy every part without any waste!
Step 3
Now, let’s prepare the moist filling that will define the quiche’s flavor. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and add 1/2 cup (about 120ml) of milk. Use a whisk to beat the eggs until smooth and lump-free. You can add a pinch of salt and pepper at this stage for enhanced flavor.
Step 4
Lightly grease a heatproof dish with butter or oil to prevent the bread toast from sticking. Place the prepared bread toast at the bottom of the dish. Arrange your chosen fillings, such as thinly sliced sausages and colorful bell peppers, attractively on top. Pour the egg mixture you prepared in step 2 evenly over the fillings, and finally, sprinkle generously with shredded cheese. More cheese means more deliciousness!
Step 5
Now, we’ll bake the assembled quiche in an air fryer. First, bake at 180°C (350°F) for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 160°C (320°F) and bake for another 2-3 minutes. Baking in two stages ensures the inside is moist while the outside becomes nicely golden.
Step 6
As it bakes, the cheese will melt and turn a lovely golden brown, filling your kitchen with a delicious aroma. Continue baking until the cheese is fully melted and has a golden hue. If using a conventional oven, bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes (adjust time based on your oven’s performance).
Step 7
After the freshly baked quiche has cooled slightly, carefully remove it from the dish. While it’s delicious right out of the oven, letting it cool a bit allows the flavors to meld together for a deeper taste. It looks beautiful, making it perfect for entertaining guests.
Step 8
Voila! Here is your deliciously golden-brown bread toast quiche. The contrast between the crispy exterior and the soft, flavorful filling packed with ingredients is truly mouthwatering!
Step 9
This simple bread toast quiche is wonderfully versatile – perfect as a delightful snack or a satisfying meal replacement. It’s highly recommended for when you’re feeling peckish, have a light appetite, or even as a brunch option for a special occasion! Enjoy your delicious creation!
