When ready to reheat, cover the quiche with foil so it won’t dry out, and pop it in a 375°F oven. Depending on your oven, it could take 20 to 40 minutes to reach the desired internal temperature of 165°F. You can also reheat quiche in the microwave for about five minutes or so, but the crust and filling will be compromised.
The French quiche is an egg custard pie typically baked in a crust, whereas the Italian frittata is a quiche without a crust. And the American strata is a savory egg and bread pudding.
It depends on which meal of the day you plan to serve it. We would serve it with a medley of fresh fruit at breakfast, and with a mixed green salad or spinach salad at lunch and dinner.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
