Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
  • for the BEST quiche, take the time to make our olive oil pastry recipe
  • if you don't have time for homemade pastry, use 2 sheets of defrosted shortcrust pastry instead
  • it's important to blind-bake the pastry (or pastry sheets) first so that the pastry becomes flakey and doesn't go soggy when the filling is added
  • substitute the milk for cream for an ultra creamy quiche
  • store in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 2 days
  • freeze for up to 3 months
  • place the quiche into the fridge overnight to defrost before thoroughly reheating OR defrost in the microwave before crisping up in the oven or air fryer.
