    What is quiche?

    Quiche is a French tart made with a savory egg custard that's baked in a pastry crust. The custard filling is made with eggs, dairy (milk or cream)—and often cheese, vegetables, meat and/or seafood. Quiche can be served warm, hot or cold. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

    This Butternut Squash Quiche is one of our favorite quiche recipes.

    What pastry for quiche?

    Quiche is made with a flaky, buttery crust. You can use a homemade or store-bought frozen crust for quiche.

    Most quiche crusts are made with white all-purpose flour. But, whole wheat pastry flour is a great alternative! It adds more depth of flavor (great in a savory tart)—plus it has slightly more health benefits than white flour. We make this Whole Wheat Quiche Crust often.

    Easy Whole Wheat Quiche Crust
    This homemade quiche crust is surprisingly easy to make. Whole wheat flour and less butter makes this a lighter, but equally delicious take on pastry crust.

    Frequently asked questions

    What's the difference between a quiche and a frittata?

    The two main differences between quiche and frittata are:

    1. A quiche has a pie crust on the bottom, whereas a frittata does not. A frittata is baked directly in a skillet or pan.

    2. A quiche has a more creamy and custard-like egg filling—because it has a lower ratio of eggs to dairy (milk/cream). Whereas, a frittata uses more eggs and less dairy (milk/cream), resulting in a firmer, more egg-y texture.

    Can quiche be frozen?

    Yes, quiche can be frozen. If the quiche has already been baked before freezing, then we recommend reheating it in the oven at 325°F (165°C) until warmed through the middle.

    Can you eat quiche cold?

    Yes, quiche can be eaten cold, warm, or hot. The choice is yours! But, if the quiche has been frozen, make sure it is fully defrosted before serving.
