Pro Tip
Blind bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling to prevent a soggy bottom. If going crustless for lower carbs, grease the pan well and add an extra egg for structure.

Serving Suggestions & Storage

How to Serve

Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes after baking before slicing — this allows the filling to set and makes for cleaner cuts. Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad.

How to Store

Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat slices in a 325°F oven for 10 minutes or microwave for 60 seconds. Freeze wrapped slices for up to 2 months.
