  • Question
    To heat a frozen quiche, can I microwave it first, before oven heating, to speed up the heating time?
    Community Answer
    No, because the pastry would defrost first, it would end up soaking up the filling and you would end up with a soggy base. Also, you would end up cooking the egg a second time. If time is important, try making the original recipe in smaller/shallower tins. This will speed up re-heating time.

    Should I use a glass pie plate or an aluminum pie plate when using the baked quiche method?
    Community Answer
    Either one. Just remember not to thaw before reheating to keep the crust from getting soggy.
  • Question
    If I use a ready made frozen pie crust, should I put the filling in it while it is still frozen?
    Community Answer
    You can, but make sure that the filling is cold when you pour it in. Then, put the quiche back into the freezer quickly.
  • Question
    After baking the quiche, do I let the quiche cool before freezing?
    Community Answer
    Yes, you never want to transfer hot items to directly to the freezer. Allow them to cool first to room temperature before storing.
  • Question
    Should I put my already-baked quiche in the freezer just wrapped in plastic wrap and tin foil?
    Community Answer
    Yes. That option has been the more common way to preserve quiche in a freezer.

    Should I keep the baked frozen quiche covered when I heat it?
    Community Answer
    No, you should uncover the quiche before heating it. It helps get rid of some of the excess moisture.
