What is quiche without crust called?

A frittata is like a crustless quiche or an unfolded omelet. It's a favorite of those who can't—or don't want to—make a crust (or use store-bought), or for low-carb, paleo people.

What meal is quiche?

Quiche (/ˈkiːʃ/ KEESH) is a French tart consisting of pastry crust filled with savoury custard and pieces of cheese, meat, seafood or vegetables. The best-known variant is quiche Lorraine, which includes lardons or bacon. Quiche can be served hot or cold. It is popular worldwide.

How do you make a quiche that's not watery?

If the quiche isn't set and the filling is slopping out, you're under-baking it. Solution: leave it in the oven for longer. If it's set, but has tiny holes in it and water is weeping out, you're over-baking it. Solution: don't bake as long.

Why is my quiche watery in the middle?

When you bake a custard, the proteins in the egg coagulate and cause the custard to set. But if you bake it for too long, or at too high a temperature, the proteins become over-coagulated and force out liquid, creating that curdled appearance. ... Another approach is to bake your quiche in a bain-marie, or hot-water bath.

Why is my quiche not cooking in the middle?

If you overbake it, you'll cook the jiggle right out of it. Instead, bake your quiche until the edges are set, but it still wobbles a little in the center. Follow This Tip: For a perfectly cooked quiche, just slightly underbake it. It's done when the edges are set, but the center still jiggles a bit.

How do you tell if your quiche is done?

Insert knife about 1 inch from the center of a one-dish quiche; midway between center and edge of cups. If knife is clean when pulled out, the quiche is done. If any quiche clings to the blade, bake a few minutes longer and test again.

How do you fix a dry quiche?

So, try raising your cream to 4-5 tbsp (or maybe try a more watery dairy like half and half), add some cheese (cheese is creamy, remember?), lower the temp to 325 F (160 C) and try again. Sorry, that's a lot of different things to try... but since I don't know your oven temperature, that part is more of a guess.

Can I reheat quiche?

While it's not the best way to reheat leftover quiche, it does work — especially in a pinch. ... Place your leftover quiche on a microwave-safe plate and warm for about three minutes. If your quiche hasn't reached your desired temp after three minutes, heat in 30-second increments to avoid overheating.
