IS A “CRUSTLESS QUICHE” NOT JUST A FRITTATA?

There are some differences between the two baked egg dishes. The texture is the primary distinction. Quiches are egg, cheese, and milk or cream custards. Their texture is light and airy.

Frittatas, on the other hand, have a texture similar to that of an omelet or baked egg because they contain little to no milk or cream. The cooking method is the other key distinction.

Frittatas begin on the burner and are finished in the oven for only a few minutes. Only the oven is used to bake quiches.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO REHEAT THIS CRUSTLESS QUICHE?

This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite breakfast dishes to prepare ahead of time! Overheating can cause the egg proteins to seize, spew water, and turn rubbery, so use caution when reheating.

As a result, I recommend merely reheating the crustless quiche in the microwave until it is warm but not hot. This will keep for about four days in the refrigerator.

QUICHES CAN BE FROZEN

Crustless quiche and other egg dishes freeze well. This is one of those gray regions where your sensitivity to texture changes will play a big role.

When you freeze, thaw, and reheat the egg, it will ooze a little water, which you may or may not mind. I recommend starting with only one slice of quiche to determine if you like the adjustments.

To freeze, first chill the quiche, then wrap it securely in plastic and place it in the freezer. Before reheating, allow thawing in the refrigerator overnight.

MAKE A CRUSTLESS SPINACH AND MUSHROOMS QUICHE

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius). I use the microwave to thaw one 10 oz. block of frozen chopped spinach, then press out as much liquid as possible. After squeezing the spinach, it should be fairly dry, with no water left in the bowl.
  2. 8 oz. mushrooms sliced and 1 garlic clove minced
  3. 1/2 tbsp frying oil, one garlic clove minced, and 1/8 tsp salt goes into a skillet with the mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms until all of the liquid has drained from the bottom of the pan.
  4. Brush a 9-inch pie dish with 1/2 tbsp frying oil. 2 oz. crumbled feta, sautéed mushrooms, squeeze-dried spinach.
  5. The savory custard should be made next. 4 huge eggs, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, 1 cup milk, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, whisked together
  6. Over the spinach, mushrooms, and feat, pour the custard mixture into the pie dish. To carry my pie plate in and out of the oven, I occasionally use a larger baking pan. It makes it easier to accomplish without spilling in my opinion, but it’s entirely up to you.
  7. Sprinkle some shredded mozzarella over the unbaked quiche. You only need around 1/2 cup or 14 ounces from an 8-ounce block.
  8. Bake the quiche for about 50 minutes, or until golden brown on top and the internal temperature reaches 160°F in a preheated 350°F oven.

Warm up the slices before serving.
