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.

    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!

    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 🙂

    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!

    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?

    • Rena says

      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.

    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.

    • Rena says

      Hey. Scientifically, energy is expressed in 1000-calorie units known as kilocalories. That is, 1 Calorie is equivalent to 1 kilocalorie
