Home Freezer Cooking Can You Freeze It?

Can You Freeze Quiche?

Updated: 9/13/22

This post may contain affiliate or sponsored links. Please read our disclosure policy.

So when someone comes to us with a specific question like, “Can you freeze quiche?” we are more the delighted to share all of the freezer cooking knowledge we’ve learned over the years.

As cookbook authors who have tested hundreds of freezer meal recipes, pioneered the best ways to make Instant Pot Freezer Meals, and have found the best of the best freezer meals for the slow cooker, we know a few things about how to freeze food.

We are on a mission to help you know how to freeze meals the RIGHT so you can save time, money, and stress by making freezer cooking a lifestyle in your home.

Can You Freeze Quiche?

This might come as a surprise to many but YES! Quiche works as a great freezer meal. In fact, I have doubled and frozen our Spinach and Bacon Quiche recipe SO many times. It comes out just the same as a fresh one. Here is the baking dish that I prefer to use for this recipe because it is deep enough for a quiche AND has a storage lid so you can store leftovers or freeze the recipe easily.

How to Freeze Quiche

The key to freezing quiche (really any egg-centric casserole) is to prep it, package it tightly, and freeze it BEFORE baking. You can wrap it in a layer of foil and a few layers of plastic wrap (or a tight-fitting lid).

The most important factor in packaging any freezer meal is to reduce its exposure to air, which causes freezer burn and adversely affects taste and texture. Store in freezer for up to 3 months.

Can you Freeze Cooked Quiche?

If you want to freeze your quiche after it’s been baked, you can but it will have a soggy crust and the eggs may get overdone when rewarmed in the microwave or oven. This is not our preferred freezing method.

How to Prepare Frozen Quiche

When you’re ready to enjoy your uncooked, frozen quiche, thaw it in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours.

This is hands-down the best way to defrost a dish like this (the microwave defrost setting could partially cook it, which is no good). After it’s fully thawed, bake it according to the directions and it’ll taste just like a fresh meal!

    I usually parbake the crust and then fill. Is it okay to parbake, fill, and then freeze before fully baking?

      Yes, I think that would work fine.

    I have a question about your favorite dish for freezing quiche. In the picture, you show it with a tight-fitting lid that has a green silicone border, but in the link, there is simply a glass lid that sets on top. Where could I find the one with the green lid? Or is the lid purchased separately?

      I just looked on Amazon and they are there but priced pretty high at the moment. But, this is what you want to look for: https://amzn.to/2Ny7NrO

        You can freeze quiche before baking for sure (if you freeze after baking, it doesn’t always taste like fresh and can get soggy). If your mom’s quiche was wrapped tightly and stayed frozen completely, it actually would totally safe to eat once you bake it. But, usually food that’s been in the freezer for a full year just isn’t the same. It can get freezer burn or take on flavors from other foods, especially if it’s not packaged well. So, I don’t blame her for still making it. I say it’s always worth trying before you throw it out! 🙂
