To enjoy this quiche at its best, it is recommended to reheat it. For a crispier crust, place it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. You can also warm it gently in a microwave for a quicker option, though the crust may be softer. It is delicious served on its own or accompanied by a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
