Frequently Asked Questions About Eggplant quiche
What is eggplant quiche made of?
Eggplant quiche is a savory pastry filled with eggplant and a set mixture of eggs and cheese, usually baked in a pastry crust. Recipes may also include cream or milk, onion, herbs, and other vegetables, so the exact filling varies.
How do you make eggplant quiche?
To make eggplant quiche, cook the eggplant first, then place it in a pastry shell. Pour over beaten eggs mixed with cheese and, if desired, cream or milk; bake until the filling is set and the top is lightly browned.
Should you cook eggplant before adding it to eggplant quiche?
Yes, cook the eggplant before adding it to eggplant quiche. Roasting, grilling, or sautéing softens it and drives off excess moisture, helping the filling cook evenly and preventing a watery texture.
How do you keep eggplant quiche from getting soggy?
Keep eggplant quiche from getting soggy by cooking the eggplant first and draining away excess moisture. Partially baking the crust before adding the filling also helps it stay crisp, especially when the egg mixture contains cream or other watery ingredients.
What cheese goes well in eggplant quiche?
Cheddar, feta, goat cheese, and Gruyère all work well in eggplant quiche. Cheddar and Gruyère melt smoothly, while feta and goat cheese bring a tangier flavor; adjust added salt if you choose a particularly salty cheese.
Do you need to peel eggplant for eggplant quiche?
No, peeling eggplant for eggplant quiche is optional. Leave the skin on when it is tender and thin; peel thicker or tougher-skinned eggplant if you want a softer, more uniform filling.
Can you make eggplant quiche ahead of time?
Yes, eggplant quiche can be made ahead and served later. Bake it fully, cool it, and refrigerate it; warm it in the oven before serving, or serve it at room temperature after it has been safely chilled.
How long does eggplant quiche last in the fridge?
Eggplant quiche keeps in the refrigerator for about 3–4 days when covered and chilled promptly after cooling. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, and discard it if it has been left at room temperature for an extended period.
Can you freeze eggplant quiche?
Yes, eggplant quiche freezes well, either whole or in individual slices. Cool it completely, wrap it airtight, and freeze; thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat it in the oven to help the crust retain its texture.
What should you serve with eggplant quiche?
Serve eggplant quiche with a crisp green salad, a tomato salad, or lightly dressed vegetables. These fresh sides balance the rich pastry and cheese filling; soup also makes a suitable accompaniment for a more substantial meal.

What is Eggplant quiche?
Eggplant quiche is a French-style savoury tart: a pastry crust filled with eggplant, eggs and cheese. The aubergine is often cooked before it goes into the filling, so it turns soft and blends well with the creamy egg mixture; recipes vary in their choice of cheese and seasoning.
Serve it warm or at room temperature, cut into slices, with a green salad for lunch or a light supper. It also works well on a brunch table and can be packed for a picnic. The pastry and cheese make it satisfying, while the eggplant contributes some fibre; each 100 g provides 8.2 g of protein. Pair it with fresh vegetables if you’d like a lighter, more balanced plate.
