Quiche is a delicious egg-based dish that’s perfect for brunch or dinner. But like many foods, it’s best when served freshly made and warm. Luckily, there are several easy methods to reheat leftover quiche and restore its just-baked taste and texture.

Reheating Quiche in the Oven

The oven is one of the best ways to evenly reheat a whole quiche or slices.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.
2. For a whole quiche, place it uncovered on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. For quiche slices, arrange them evenly on the lined baking sheet.
3. Bake the quiche for 10-15 minutes if reheating a whole quiche or 8-12 minutes for slices. The quiche should be hot throughout with a lightly browned top when done.
4. Let the quiche rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving. The filling will firm up as it cools slightly.

Pro Tip: Cover the edges of the crust loosely with foil if they start to get too brown before the interior is hot.

Reheating quiche in the oven brings out its fresh-baked taste and crispy crust.

Reheating Quiche in the Microwave

The microwave provides a quick method to reheat quiche slices or portions.

Instructions

1. Place the quiche slices or portions on a microwave-safe plate.
2. Microwave on HIGH in 30 second intervals until heated through, about 1-2 minutes total depending on amounts.
3. Allow to sit for 1 minute before eating so the filling can firm up.

Reheating Quiche in the Toaster Oven

A toaster oven provides quick, crisp reheating results for quiche slices.

Instructions

1. Place the quiche slices on the toaster oven rack.
2. Toast at 350°F for 4-6 minutes until hot and lightly browned on top.
3. Let cool slightly before serving so the filling can set up.

Instructions

1. Brush or spray the quiche slices lightly with oil.
2. Place in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overlap.
3. Air fry at 350°F for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Brush the crust lightly with milk or butter before reheating to add moisture. Or reheat at a high temp (400°F) for the first few minutes to crisp the crust before lowering temp.

Should quiche be covered or uncovered when reheating?

Uncovered is best to prevent the custard from getting soggy and to crisp the crust.

Tips

• Let the quiche rest for 5-10 minutes after reheating so the custard can firm up before slicing.
• Reheat any quiche toppings like bacon or veggies separately to retain texture and crispness.
• Use a thermometer to check the center for 165°F when reheating a whole quiche.
