To reheat, place in a 350° F (180 C ) oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Alternately, quiches can be reheated in the microwave (times vary), but they lose some of their lightness when reheated this way. Serve right away and do not refrigerate quiches that have already sat out.

As long as cooked to piping it probably won't make you I'll but may not taste as nice. If it smells ok it will be fine.

If it is just a best before date then that indicates a loss of quality/mouthfeel/texture, rather than a food safety issue. I'd serve it but we have iron guts!
