When cooking quiche do you have to cook the bacon and onions before adding to quiche?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes...at least the bacon. You don't want it to be over-done but it should be nicely "rendered" and beginning to lose the "raw" look. You don't want to add bacon when it's just out of the fridge. The onions can be added raw but their flavor is enhanced if you just saute them to bring out the natural flavors. It also makes the quiche look nicer...more prepared.

How long can you keep cooked meat in fridge?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on what cooked meat you are talking about because everything is different.

It not only depends on which cooked meat, but also on how well is was cooked, how it was handled before refrigeration, what packaging is used and the actual temperature at which it is stored.

A reasonable guideline is to use it within 3 or 4 days.

What is a quiche without a crust called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

One egg dish similar to a quiche but without a pastry crust is a frittata. Frittata is, unlike the quiche, usually made without milk or cream.

A frittata (from the Italian, fritto, friggere: to fry) is made by beating eggs and mixing in cold, cooked meat, bacon, cheese, fried vegetables, and so on; the ingredients may also be added to the pan after the eggs are poured in.

The frittata is cooked on medium heat until the bottom is set and then inverted onto a heatproof plate or sheet; the top is grilled (broiled) until set. It can also be inverted into another pan to cook the top on the stove, though this gives a less attractive finish.

The top is often finished with extra cheese before grilling (broiling) and decorated with olives, anchovies, mushrooms, herbs and so on, like a pizza. The cooked frittata is allowed to cool slightly so that it can be cut into wedges or slices.

Frittata ingredients can be chosen simply from whatever you have on hand. Frittata is a delicious meal in itself, and can be eaten hot or cold, by itself or with salad or other accompaniments. Crusty white bread is often served alongside frittata. It also makes a substantial sandwich filling.

As with very many foods, including pizza, differently-named variants of this dish are made all over the world - particularly in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern countries - using similar ingredients and methods. Beating leftover meat and vegetables together with eggs and frying is a popular and delicious meal worldwide.

A similar dish to the Italian frittata is the Spanish omelet, which, outside of Spain, is usually made by adding cooked potato and fried onions and peppers to the eggs. The traditional Spanish omelet is more likely to be eggs, beaten and cooked in a pan, perhaps with onions, and served with a sauce of hot peppers, onions and tomatoes.

Can quiche be reheated?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would first crumble up a sheet of foil. Uncrumble the foil (not completely) and lay that in a frying pan. Then I would lay the quiche on the foil. Purpose of foil is to keep the bottom of quiche from burning. Cover pan loosely with lid or foil and put heat on low. Check after a while to make sure quiche is heated throughout. Many restaurants use a microwave and that simply ruins the quiche. I have not tried this method on quiche but it works great (without foil) when reheating pizza.

I just had quiche in a restaurant who served microwave reheated quiche. It was terrible. The eggs were slimy and the crust was mushy. Yuck.

When you bake quiche do you cover it?

User Avatar

Asked by YosefHaiem

No, you do not need to cover quiche when you bake it. You may cover the very outside edges of the crust lightly with foil toward the end of the baking process, but only if desired. This helps to prevent the crust from burning. Leave the center of the quiche uncovered.
