How to Freeze Quiche {The RIGHT way!} - Thriving Home? ›

You can wrap it in a layer of foil and a few layers of plastic wrap (or a tight-fitting lid). The most important factor in packaging any freezer meal is to reduce its exposure to air, which causes freezer burn and adversely affects taste and texture. Store in freezer for up to 3 months.

Cool the quiche completely after baking, then wrap it in a double layer of plastic wrap and then cover it securely in foil. Label and place in the freezer for up to 3 months.

🥚 How to Reheat Frozen Quiche

Reheating frozen quiche will take a bit longer, but using the oven ensures even heating, so no need to thaw it. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place quiche on a baking sheet and cover with foil. Heat for 30-40 minutes, or until the inside of quiche is 165 degrees F.

The short answer is yes—but there are a few rules you should follow. When using Pyrex or any glass bakeware or cookware, you should avoid extreme temperature changes—very cold dishes shouldn't be placed in a hot oven, and vice versa. Sudden changes in temperature may cause the dishes to shatter or break.

To freeze cooked scrambled eggs, portion the scrambled eggs as you plan to use them (including assembling any burritos or other dishes), then freeze them in freezer-safe containers.

Defrost Instructions:

Remove the frozen quiche from its packaging and place on a baking tray, leaving the silicone paper underneath the base of the quiche. Defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours before cooking. Preheat oven.

Hot or cold? Quiche must be eaten at least residually warm. Straight-from-the-fridge, cold quiche is a sad, drab thing, the filling set and leaden, the pastry all waxy with congealed fat. You need to loosen that quiche up a little: light some candles, give it a metaphorical massage, warm it through in the oven.

Using the oven is the preferred and best way to warm up your quiche, because it keeps the flavor of the filling, plus keeps the crust's flaky texture.
