My Best Tips and Tricks
Want to be super prepared? You can freeze this baby unbaked for up to 2 months just add a few extra minutes when you bake it. This is perfect for using up leftover ham from the holidays. Love things spicy? Add an extra dash of hot sauce or some red pepper flakes.
What to Serve With It
I love serving this with a fresh green salad or some fruit on the side. If you're doing brunch add some crusty bread or my garlic toast recipe. It's also amazing as part of a bigger spread with other breakfast goodies.
Keeping It Fresh
Pop any leftovers in the fridge they'll stay good for about 3 days. When you're ready to eat just warm it up in the oven at 350°F for about 10 to 15 minutes. One tip though don't freeze it after baking it's just not the same but freezing it before baking works like a charm.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know when the quiche is done?
The quiche is ready when it's set in the middle and doesn't jiggle when gently shaken. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
- Can I make this crustless?
Yes, but spray your pie dish well with cooking spray first. The baking time might be slightly shorter, so start checking at 45 minutes.
- Why heat the ham first?
Heating the ham removes excess moisture that could make your quiche watery. It's a simple step that ensures better texture.
- How long does it keep in the freezer?
The quiche can be frozen for up to 3 months, whether baked or unbaked. Just wrap it well in foil and place in a freezer bag.
- Can I use light cream instead of heavy cream?
While heavy cream gives the richest texture, light cream or half-and-half will work. The quiche might not be quite as creamy but will still taste great.
