StoringLeftovers: Keep your mini quiches fresh for up to 3 days by stashing them in an airtight container in the fridge.
ReheatingMagic: Give your quiches a second life! Mini quiches love hot air, so zap them in your air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes, adjusting for your appliance’s quirks. Or, go classic with the oven: preheat to 350°F and warm them up in a baking pan for a few minutes.
Freezing for Later: Want to save some for later? No problem! Individually wrap each quiche in plastic wrap and then cozy them up in an airtight freezer container for up to 3 months. When the craving strikes, simply thaw them overnight in the fridge before reheating.
I hope you love these like we do!
