Bake quiche. Place the quiche in oven and bake until the inside is completely set, approximately 48-50 minutes. Remove from oven and let it sit for about 5-6 minutes.
Serve quiche. Serve quiche with a variety of sides.

Notes

The quiche is done when the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Store leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through or in the microwave.
You can prepare and bake the quiche in advance. Store it in the refrigerator and reheat slices in the oven or microwave before serving.
