Questions about Mushroom quiche
How do you stop mushroom quiche going soggy?
Fry sliced mushrooms until their released liquid has evaporated, then cool them before adding to the pastry case. Blind-bake the pastry first, and avoid pouring in any liquid left in the mushroom pan.
How do you reheat mushroom quiche?
Warm slices in an oven at 160 °C for about 15–20 minutes, until hot through; this keeps the pastry crisper than a microwave. Cover loosely with foil if the top is browning too quickly.
Can you freeze mushroom quiche?
Yes. Cool it completely, wrap individual slices well and freeze for up to 2 months for best quality. Defrost in the fridge overnight, then reheat in the oven until steaming hot throughout.
What should you serve with mushroom quiche?
A green salad with a sharp vinaigrette cuts through the rich egg-and-cream filling; steamed green beans or a tomato salad also work well. Serve it warm or at room temperature.

Yes: chestnut mushrooms give a deep, savoury flavour, while a mix including shiitake or oyster mushrooms adds different textures. Cook them until their liquid has evaporated before adding them to the filling.
