Recipe Tips & Suggestions
Storing Quiche:
You can store leftover Quiche in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Cover the Quiche tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to keep it from drying out.
Freezing Quiche:
Quiche can be frozen for 2-3 months. To freeze, wrap the cooled Quiche tightly in plastic or aluminum foil, then place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. When ready to eat the Quiche, remove it from the freezer and let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
Reheating Instructions
Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Place the Quiche on a baking sheet and cover it with foil. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
Microwave: Place a slice of Quiche on a microwave-safe plate and cover it with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 30-60 seconds or until heated through.
Rana’s Notes!
Please note that this recipe is designed to make two 9-inch quiches. If you are making only one quiche, be sure to cut all ingredients in half accordingly. However, if you end up with extra filling, don't worry! You can bake it in a muffin tin for mini quiches or make an omelet. Just be sure to spray the muffin tin with cooking spray before adding the filling. Enjoy!
