To prepare these frozen mini quiches, simply remove them from their packaging and place them on a baking sheet. They can be reheated in a conventional oven or a toaster oven until they are heated through and the crust is golden brown. The exact time and temperature will vary depending on your oven, so it is best to check them periodically. They are best served warm, allowing the creamy filling to soften and the pastry to become crisp.
