Equipment

Ingredients

For the quiche

5 green onions chopped
1 tablespoon butter
⅓ pound thinly sliced deli corned beef chopped (or 1/3 pound leftover corned beef, chopped)
½ cup sauerkraut well-drained
1 ½ cups shredded Swiss cheese
4 large eggs lightly beaten
½ cup half-and-half cream
¼ teaspoon salt

For serving

Freshly chopped parsley for garnish
Russian or Thousand Island dressing

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray and set it aside.
In a small skillet, saute onions in butter until tender; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the corned beef, sauerkraut, and cheese. Mix in the eggs, cream, salt, and reserved onion mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
Garnish with parsley and serve with Russian or Thousand Island dressing, if desired.

Notes

Recipe Notes

You can substitute leftover corned beef for the deli-sliced corned beef if you prefer.
Get as much of the liquid out of the sauerkraut as you can so your quiche doesn't end up watery.

How long will quiche keep in the refrigerator?

You will want to eat refrigerated or leftover quiche within 3-4 days.

Can quiche be frozen?

Yes! Quiche can be frozen before baking or after baking. Note that baking it first may make the quiche a little easier to deal with in the freezer.

To freeze quiche before baking:

Place the quiche on a baking tray and freeze until firm. Wrap with freezer paper or heavy-duty (or double thickness) aluminum foil or slide quiche into a freezer bag - seal, label and freeze for up to three months. When ready to serve, remove from the freezer. Do not thaw. Unwrap and bake, as usual, adding an extra 10 to 20 minutes to the baking time.

To freeze quiche after baking:

Proceed as above. Do not thaw before reheating. Remove wrap and bake in a preheated 350°F oven for about 25 minutes, or until heated through.

What is the best way to reheat quiche?

You can reheat the whole quiche in a 350°F oven for about 25-30 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, for a slice of quiche, heat it in the microwave at 50% power for about 3 minutes or until heated through.
