How to Serve Breakfast Quiche
Cut the quiche into wedges and serve warm. Pair it with simple sides like fruit salad, toast, or yogurt for a balanced plate.
For a casual weekend brunch, set out a bowl of fresh berries and a small green salad. For school mornings, wrap a slice in foil to keep it warm during the drive.
How to Store
Cool the quiche completely before storing. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container.
Keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat slices in the microwave for 45 to 60 seconds, or warm on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 10 minutes.
Freeze whole or sliced quiche for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Tips and Variations
Use pre-cooked meats and pre-shredded cheese to speed things up. Chop veggies small so they cook through and kids will eat them.
Make a crustless version by skipping the pie crust and greasing the dish. Bake a few extra minutes if you go crustless.
Try different cheeses like Swiss or pepper jack. Add a teaspoon of dried herbs to the egg mix for more flavor. For a vegetarian option, omit the meat and add extra veggies or tofu.
Lightly blind bake the crust for 5 minutes if you want a crisper bottom. Let the quiche rest 5 to 10 minutes after baking to finish setting. These small steps help you serve neat slices.
