Tips on Making Mushroom and Tomato Quiche
Quiche is a highly customizable dish in which you could add your favorites — from leftovers to deli meat, sun dried tomatoes, and even your favorite vegetables such as zucchini, spinach, basil, onion, and more. Before heading into the kitchen, read these pro tips for making the best breakfast quiche to perfect every time.
- Always blind bake the crust. In blind baking, you pre-bake the pie crust without the filling. Doing this ensures that it is cooked through and won’t get soggy.
- Immediately pour the filling while the crust is hot. The heat will cook the egg mixture creating a solid layer that will keep the rest of the tomato mushroom filling from spilling.
- Use any tomato, cheese, and mushroom that’s available on hand. You can use heirloom tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, enoki mushrooms, portobello mushrooms, Gruyere, swiss cheese, cheddar cheese, and even feta cheese.
- Any add-ons for the filling should be dry so that the quiche won’t end up watery. Make a spinach mushroom tomato quiche by adding spinach in the mix, thawed, squeezed, and drained properly. Drain the canned mushrooms well. If you’ll be adding bacon, zucchini, or peppers, a quick saute will help remove any excess moisture.
- Do not overstuff. The creaminess comes from the custard, so you want every bite to have a good ratio of custard to the rest of the ingredients.
- Use store-bought frozen pie crust for convenience, or make it a crustless quiche. Both ways are delicious.
- Aside from making a big pie, you can portion the quiche into small ramekins or muffin tins and make personal-sized quiches for everyone like this spinach quiche.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make quiche ahead of time and reheat?
Yes! Whip up the quiche filling and crust and put them together to bake the next morning. You can also bake and chill it covered with plastic wrap the night before, then reheat it in the morning.
How do you fix a soggy bottom quiche?
A soggy bottom quiche could be caused by underbaking or using ingredients that are too moist. First, if the tomato quiche is underbaked, simply bake it for a few more minutes until set. Baking it at the lowest rack will help cook the bottom faster since it’s closer to the heat source. Moreover, use a glass baking dish if you have it so that you can see if the crust is brown enough. Next time, saute the ingredients to remove excess moisture before adding them to the egg mixture. Lastly, always blind bake the crust.
