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 SO many times. It comes out just the same as a fresh one.

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.

How to Prepare Frozen Quiche

When you’re ready to enjoy your uncooked, frozen quiche, thaw it in the refrigerator for approximately 24 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. This also works for our Bacon and Spinach Mini Quiches.

This might surprise you but you can freeze other egg-based recipes like Baked Omelettes, Breakfast Casserole with Hash Browns, or Baked Ham and Egg Cups.

FAQs

Can I freeze quiche after baking?

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. But technically, yes, you can freeze quiche after baking.

How long does quiche last in the freezer?

A quiche can last up to 3 months in the freezer if properly wrapped and stored. For the best taste and texture, try to consume it within this time frame.

    I made a sausage quiche about a month ago. I cooked the sausage but the egg mixture is raw. And when I froze it I didn’t wrap it, I just put it in a freezer zip lock bag. Do you think it would be ok to eat after baking?

    Should the crust be cooked first before freezing?

      No, you do not need to bake it first. We use a raw crust when prepping and freezing our Spinach and Bacon Quiche recipe. https://thrivinghomeblog.com/bacon-and-spinach-quiche-freezer-meal/

    Hi and thanks for this post! How do you pour in the filling to then freeze the quiche without the crust absorbing the moisture during the freeze process? Should I freeze my blind-baked crusts first, then add filling, then freeze again?

      The crust doesn’t absorb it. It will stay together just fine!

    Can you freeze the contents of the quiche in a baggie, then thaw and put in a prepared pie crust and bake?

      Yes, that would work fine.

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

    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

      For a year and then served it to
      All of us
      It was my Wife that actually made it a year prior! 😆 🤣 😂

        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! 🙂
