Question: can I freeze a quiche?

[MikeLM]

I made a nice smoked-salmon quiche using Costco's salmon and the basic quiche recipe from Best Recipes by Cook's Illustrated.

It's basically an egg custard. Do you think I can freeze it?

Thanks

Mike

Yes, but be aware that it might get a bit watery when you thaw it out and heat it up. So you might want to reheat it from frozen, at a lower temperature than you would use to bake it.

For future what you can try assembling the ingredients and freezing them. When your ready thaw them and bake the quiche. I have done this several times and the results are not bad at all.

Thats a great idea Nicko. It's such a finicky business making a quiche. If the pastry and fillings are already prepped it's going to cut down on the time. I've never liked the texture of the filling after freezing a complete quiche.
