Can it sit out?
Quiche is perishable — the FSIS 2-hour rule applies.
Perishable food left at room temperature for more than 2 hours should be thrown out — 1 hour if it’s 90°F or hotter (a picnic, a hot car, a summer kitchen).
How to tell if quiche has gone bad
- A sour or sulfur smell when you unwrap it
- Custard gone watery, with liquid in the bottom of the dish
- Slick or slimy patches across the surface
- Mold anywhere on the crust rim
When in doubt, throw it out.
Reheat slices in a low oven rather than the microwave — the custard stays silky instead of turning to scrambled egg.
