What to serve with mini quiche? ›

To reheat, place in a 350° F (180 C ) oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Alternately, quiches can be reheated in the microwave (times vary), but they lose some of their lightness when reheated this way. Serve right away and do not refrigerate quiches that have already sat out.

Flash freeze baked and cooled quiche on a plate or baking sheet until they are solid, then transfer them to zip-top freezer bag (so they don't stick together). Bake the frozen mini quiche straight from the freezer. Transfer to a baking sheet and reheat in a 400-degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes.

Cheese: Some favorites include feta cheese, goat cheese, cheddar cheese, white cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, and gruyere. Add-Ins: Add up to 2 cups add-ins including vegetables and meat/seafood. Most quiche add-ins should be pre-cooked and can still be warm when mixing into the egg filling.

Quiche is traditionally served with a green salad and crusty French bread, but the sky is the limit when you start thinking of other options. Here are some ideas: A simple green salad such as arugula tossed with an olive oil and lemon vinaigrette.

A warming tray or chafing dish is ideal for keeping mini quiches warm for serving. Alternatively, if you're not serving within 2 hours, you may use the 'warm' setting on your oven. If your oven doesn't have a 'warm' setting, cover the food loosely with foil place it in a preheated 200 F.

After warming the quiche, place it under the broiler for a few minutes to add a little caramelization and color to the top. Go one step further and sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan or a meltable shredded cheese like cheddar or Gruyère before broiling for extra flavor.

Is quiche healthy? Quiche is bad news when it comes to a healthy diet. It's usually made with cheese and cream in the filling as well as butter in the pastry case, so it's often high in saturated fat and calories. Ingredients like bacon will add salt and more saturated fat.

Should frozen quiche be thawed before baking? ›

When ready to eat it, unwrap it and bake it straight from frozen at 350 degrees F until very hot in the center. Check it frequently; baking time will vary but should be about 1 to 1 1/2 hours depending on the size and type of pan. Allow the quiche to set for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

The water is likely from over-heating the eggs. They'll become rubber+water if you overheat them, just as badly as if you overcooked it the first time.

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature on a wire rack on the counter. Refrigerate, or serve once cooled. (If serving tomorrow morning, take it out of the fridge an hour or so before serving so it can come up to room temperature.)

Quiche is usually a lunch item, not a dinner item. It can be a course in a dinner, but never the entire dinner, except perhaps for a light meal at home. Quiches are rarely desserts, however; they're generally savory items.
