faQ about quiche
For best results reheat quiche either in the oven. Place the slice of quiche on a wire rack and heat in a 350ºF oven for 5-10 minutes. If the crust is becoming overly browned, protect it with foil. For a whole quiche, reheat for 20-30 minutes, being sure to loosely over the crust.
Yes. Quiche may be frozen either before baking or after. To freeze before baking, freeze the filling and crust separately for best results. Leftover quiche may also be frozen up to three months. Either unbaked or baked quiche may be reheated straight from frozen.
Although both are made primarily with eggs with a variety of add-ins, a quiche has a pastry pie crust while a frittata is crustless. Frittatas also cook faster because they are started off on the oven and finish cooking in the oven.
Yes. Whether you need a dairy-free quiche recipe or are looking for a different spin on a traditional recipe, there are a variety of mix-ins to replicate heavy cream. Silken tofu, ricotta, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, evaporated milk, or half-and-half all make great substitutions for cream.

Roasting Tips
- To achieve golden, caramelized exteriors, it’s important to not crowd the pan. If the contents can’t lie flat in a single layer, divide the mixture between two pans, rotating halfway through.
- The initial bake is longer to create a browned exterior. Leave the carrots and apples be, not tossing or moving, until the side touching the baking sheet starts to brown.
- If carrots are thick, slice lengthwise to make two thinner halves. When I roast carrots, I leave some whole and halve others to make sure they are uniform and cook at the same rate.
