    🙋 Recipe FAQ's

    Can you freeze quiche?

    Yes, wrap the quiche in a few layers of plastic wrap to help prevent freezer burn.

    How do I know when my quiche is finished cooking?

    Test the doneness by inserting a knife in the center of the quiche. If the knife comes out clean then your quiche is finished.

    Why do you let the quiche rest before cutting into it?

    Letting your quiche rest will ensure the filling has had proper time to set so you get a well-formed slice that doesn't fall apart.

    💭 Tips

    • Cover the quiche crust edges with aluminum foil or crust shields if the crust starts to darken before the quiche is done.
    • Keep the frozen pie crust in the freezer until ready to assemble the quiche.
    • Cut a circle of parchment paper and use it to line the bottom of your pie pan to help prevent any sticking.
    • If you don't have half and half, substitute or a equal parts whole milk and heavy cream.
    • Use turkey bacon to reduce the fat in the recipe.
    • Chop the bacon prior to cooking. It cooks more evenly and is more uniform pieces than if chopped after cooking.

    📖 Variations

    • Skip the pie crust and spray a pie dish with cooking spray, then assemble the filling and bake for a low-carb quiche.
    • For a more robust quiche try using caramelized onions and sharp cheddar with sausage crumbles.
    • Try adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the Spinach and Bacon Quiche for an added smoky flavor.
    • Make this spinach quiche vegetarian by substituting the bacon for your favorite plant-based meat product or leaving it out completely.
