Quiche with mushrooms, ham and chicken - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Absolutely! Feel free to substitute the chicken and ham with cooked bacon, sausage, or even leftover roast turkey. Just ensure the meats are pre-cooked before adding them to the filling.
No problem! You can replace the mushrooms with other vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, zucchini, or caramelized onions. Aim for about the same volume as the mushrooms called for in the recipe.
Properly stored, leftover quiche will last for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Make sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container.
Yes, you can freeze the quiche after it's baked and cooled. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil, or place it in a freezer-safe container. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
For best results, reheat the quiche in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave it, but the crust might become a bit softer.
To make this quiche vegetarian, simply omit the chicken and ham. Increase the amount of mushrooms or add other vegetables like spinach, roasted red peppers or asparagus to compensate. You can also add some crumbled feta to have flavorful variation.
Yes, you can prepare the quiche a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator unbaked. Then bake it as directed before serving. You might need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Yes, using a pre-made pie crust is a great shortcut! Just make sure it's a deep-dish crust to accommodate all the filling and adjust baking time accordingly.
Quiche is delicious served with a simple green salad, fruit salad, or roasted vegetables. It's perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner.
