How to freeze crustless quiche
Allow your crustless quiche to cool off and then cut into large single serve squares. Storing is easier if cut into single serving sizes and then place in an airtight container. Planning on reheating individual servings? Then cut out some parchment paper and place it in between the quiche to prevent them from sticking together. If you plan on reheating all of the quiches at once then no need to place anything in between.
Another method of storing quiche for freezing would be tightly wrapping each quiche square individually with plastic wrap, then wrap again with aluminum foil before placing them in the freezer.
How to reheat quiche
Remove quiche from the refrigerator and simply reheat in the microwave. If the quiche is frozen, you may allow it to thaw in the fridge the night before and then reheat it in the microwave.

could you swap the milk for cottage cheese?
Yes sure! loving all the cottage cheese ideas
I want to make this tomorrow and just wanted to check on the cheese. The ingredients list says grated but in the picture it looks shredded. Should it be shredded? This is my first attempt at making quiche so I want to get it right!!
Also, you don’t have to sauté the veggies before baking?
Thank you!
Hi rose. No, you do not have to saute the veggies, especially if you are using the same ones I used. As for the cheese either way is fine. But yes I should say shredded not grated.
Thank you for your quick reply!! If I halve this recipe will it work in a pie dish? How long do you think to bake?
Thanks, Rose. Sorry took a bit longer I was not in town. Yes, you can do half the amount and use a pie dish. I assume 25 minutes give or take. Just peek in at it and you can tell when it firms and starts to crust or brown.
So healthy with all the fresh garden veggies and super yummy
Thanks Pam
Hello!! If I freeze this after I cook it- what’s the best way to reheat? Thanks!
Hi. oven or microwave
HI. thank you for this great recipe! I currently have it in the oven and can’t wait to taste it! I have a question though…can this quiche be frozen after cooking? I prefer to cook in bulk. If it can be frozen for reheating later, that would be ideal. Any thoughts on that? thank you!
Sorry for the late reply, I hope you figured it out. Yes you can freeze
Absolutely delicious! First time ever making a quiche and I was quite impressed with the flavoring. I did cut the tomatoes in half, though. Thank you for this recipe. I will definitely be making it again in the future 🙂
So glad you liked it
Just made this as my breakfast for the work week and it’s delicious! My issue is not filling up enough when I eat breakfast or eating too many carbs to fill up and stay hungry until lunch. This plus some oatmeal/ fruit is perfect! It came out delicious- thank you for helping me to eat healthier and making it so good!
So glad you liked it. Thanks for the feedback
I appreciate all of your recipes. It’s helped me learn how to become a chef during quarantine! Hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy. I think I recall you had COVID.
For this recipe, what’s the conversion and impact if I use egg whites instead of Large eggs?
Thanks, Navin. That is so sweet of you. Appreciate that. We are all doing well!
You can use egg whites and it will be just as good.
Thanks for your recipe! Its rare to find recipes online that fit into a low fodmap diet and this one is perfect! I used cashew milk instead of almond to make it a bit more creamy.
awesome! I will try it with cashew milk next time
I’ve always wondered, what’s the difference between kcal and calories? I’m trying to watch my calorie count and I was just wondering.
Hey. Scientifically, energy is expressed in 1000-calorie units known as kilocalories. That is, 1 Calorie is equivalent to 1 kilocalorie
