Chicken and Mushroom Quiche - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute homemade dough with a store-bought pie crust to save time. Just ensure it’s unbaked and follow the recipe from Step 4 onward.
You can replace champignons with any mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, or portobello for a similar earthy flavor or omit them for a simpler chicken quiche.
Skip the chicken and double the mushrooms or add sautéed spinach, bell peppers, or zucchini for a hearty vegetarian version. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or microwave for 1-2 minutes until warmed through.
Yes! Cool the quiche completely, wrap tightly in foil or plastic, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
