Can you freeze Quiche?

leni

Debating making a homemade quiche tonight, but wondering if I can frezze some?

Hi Leni,

I froze some quiche at the weekend to take to work for lunch this week. I defrosted a slice overnight to have for lunch today.

It seemed fine, but the pastry was more 'spongy' than 'crunchy', IYKWIM...

Tasted just as nice though.

Hope that helps...

I do it a lot with bought ones and they seem fine.

Yes, but when you defrost it put it to heat in the oven.

I have frozen HM quiches at the liquid stage ie. bake case blind, put in filling, freeze. This way the filling cooks as it thaaws. Can't remember how long it takes, but IIR not very long.

After being persuaded by purpleivy's pastry economics thread to make my own I have made a double batch of pastry and will be having quiche tomorrow. So, should I freeze the left-over pastry by itself, with quiche cooked or uncooked? Are there any possible quiche fillings that really don't take well to being frozen?

Thanks, Ness.

I freeze quiche all the time. Mainly ham or bacon and cheese. Cook it first. You can reheat it in the oven at 190c for 35-45mins straight from frozen.

Whenever I have found ready made quiches on the salmonella shelf, I'll eat one and freeze any others. I've never had a problem of any kind so unless the ingredients you plan to use are more exotic or unusual than the norm, I don't think you'll have a problem.

That is exactly what I do. The ASDA extra special ones end up there for 50p sometimes.

i freeze quiche all the time, if it a reduced shop bought one i cut it into individualm portions and wrap and freeze in the box. i used these to go in my packed lunch for work. i tend to used h/m made quiche whole when i have visitors and never had a problem freezing and defrosting either.
