What to serve with quiche
Quiche pairs well with a crisp green salad, a creamy potato salad or a vibrant slaw for a fresh and crunchy contrast. Add chutney or crème fraîche on the side, and enjoy warm or cold – perfect for picnics, parties and lunchboxes.
Can you freeze quiche?
Yes, you can freeze quiche. Freezing is a handy option if you want to get ahead or have leftovers to save for another time. For optimal results, freeze the quiche after it has been fully baked and cooled. Wrap it in a thin layer of foil and place it in an airtight, reusable, freezer-safe bag.
Can you reheat quiche?
Yes, you can reheat quiche. To enjoy the best texture, reheat your quiche in the oven rather than the microwave. Reheating in the microwave is a great, speedy solution, but you will sacrifice some of the quiche's texture. Warming it in the oven helps keep the pastry crisp and the filling evenly heated. Place the quiche on a baking tray, cover loosely with foil, and heat at 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4 until piping hot throughout. If you’re reheating individual slices, they’ll take less time than a whole quiche. Always ensure the quiche is thoroughly heated before serving.
