[@chrispile3878]

Looks tasty. Also - cool soundtrack.

[@AuntieLousPlace]

Thanks 😁

[@nightlady2001]

Looks great! Can you post U.S. measurements?

[@AuntieLousPlace]

Thanks so much! I'll give it a try with U.S. measurements. Give me a little time to work it out and I'll add them in the description.

[@valerieladeda]

1. What are the dimensions of the baking dish? 2. Can you provide alternate measurements for us dumb Americans who don't do metric? 3. What is the recommended way to reheat leftovers? 4. Otherwise, a delightful video! ❤

[@AuntieLousPlace]

Thanks so much for your questions & I'll do my best to answer them all. 1. The baking dish is 20x20cm (8 inch x 8 inch). 2. There are cup measurements are in the written description section of this video. I try to remember to add them to this section to make it easier for everyone to follow the recipes. 3. I like the leftovers cold with salad but can be reheated in the oven for about 10 minutes at 350F or until warmed through.

[@ft6zzz]

Do you need to grease the baking pan in any way? I made my first quiche last night and I thought it would be just as nice without the crust. Turns out crustless quiche is a thing!

[@AuntieLousPlace]

Thanks for asking. I line the dish with parchment paper and use a spray oil. The parchment paper makes it much easier to remove from the dish.

[@ft6zzz]

@@AuntieLousPlace I just looked again and saw the parchment paper! Same colour as you pan haha!

[@AuntieLousPlace]

@ft6zzz Parchment paper is great stuff. I use it a lot.

[@jimmayors2315]

Can I have a cheeseburger without the cheese please.

[@michaeljackson2838]

Isn't a crustless quiche called a frittata? Just sayin"

[@AuntieLousPlace]

Good question. The difference is a frittata is started on the stove top and finished in the oven and has less cream/milk. Quiche is baked in the oven. So it comes down to cooking technique.

[@michaeljackson2838]

@@AuntieLousPlace Thanks, did not know that

[@dorazarate6559]

La musica es muy molesta

[@AuntieLousPlace]

Sorry you didn't like the music.

[@annacollings7883]

Turn music off please

[@AuntieLousPlace]

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the music. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@pamelasloan1664]

Like the music but a little too loud

[@AuntieLousPlace]

@pamelasloan1664 thanks for the feedback 😀 will do my best to make it quieter in the future 👍
