    Making a quiche has never been easier with the use of store-bought puff pastry! Cheesy, savoury, and packed with Korean flavours, this quiche takes next to no time to put together!

    Puff Pastry Quiche

    I love quiche but don’t like making quiche crust. But I don’t like crustless quiches. I know! I just want to have my cake and eat it too haha.

    I’m all about shortcuts in the kitchen whenever possible. So when it comes to quiches, store-bought puff pastry is my best friend. It requires next to no work, you unroll it and plop it into your dish. If you want to be fancy, you can roll it out a bit and crimp the edges so it looks more like a traditional quiche but I’m not trying to impress anyone so this is how I make it.

    Be sure to get the all-butter puff pastry. I love that it adds a delicious crispy flaky texture to the quiche so when I don’t play around with the edges and leave it in a square space, I’ll cut myself the piece with the most puff pastry ;)

    A Korean Inspired Quiche

    This puff pastry quiche is super versatile and I encourage you to play around with the filling! I’ve really been loving savoury Korean flavours lately so I made a Korean inspired one using bacon, kimchi, green onions, cheese, and gochugaru.

    Feel free to use more traditional ingredients if you prefer or mix things up and add your own flair to it. Other ingredients you could add are broccoli florets, ham, bell peppers, mushrooms, etc. The possibilities are endless!

    What You’ll Need To Make This Puff Pastry Quiche

    • butter puff pastry
    • eggs
    • milk – I prefer whole fat milk
    • gochugaru (고추가루) aka Korean chili/hot/red pepper powder. See the image below if you’re not sure what to look for in stores.
    • garlic powder
    • cooked bacon – crumbled or broken off into 1/2 inch pieces
    • green onions
    • kimchi
    • shredded cheese – I went with marble

    I also used a 11″ pie dish for the quiche so it’s on the more shallow side.

    How To Make Quiche with a Puff Pastry Crust

    • Heat oven to 400F.
    • Grease a pie dish, unroll the puff pastry, and place it into the dish. Feel free to play around with the edge so it’s crimped but I just place it in as-is.

    How To Freeze Puff Pastry Crust Quiche

    Let the quiche cool down to room temperature the wrap in plastic wrap and freeze. Or wrap individual slices in plastic wrap to freeze. I recommend using a disposal pie dish if you plan on freezing it whole.

    To Reheat Frozen Quiche

    If reheating a whole frozen quiche, cover the top with tin foil and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 400F or until the whole quiche has been heated through. Individual slices can be thawed in the fridge overnight and microwaved (or warmed in the oven). However the crust won’t be as crisp if you are microwaving.

    Tips

    • If you are worried about the puff pastry having a soggy bottom, you can prick the bottom with a fork and blind bake the crust with pie weighs for up to 8-10 minutes. I personally haven’t had any issues with the puff pastry I used but have experienced this issue with traditional quiches and this was how I dealt with it.
    • Avoid letting the quiche sit with the egg in it for too long as the egg mixture will soak into the puff pastry. Make sure you have the filling ready and oven at 400F before adding in the egg mixture and popping it into the oven.
    • If you’re worried about spilling the egg mixture as we are using a shallow pie dish, you can place the quiche in the oven with the rack pulled out before pouring in the egg mixture.
