Ingredients
Bulk Quiche Base
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup of milk or heavy cream
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1-1 ½ cups of shredded cheese see variations
- 2 pie crusts store bought or homemade
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: If you are using store brought follow the instructions on the box if you are using homemade pastry roll out and fill two 9″ pie plates
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the Quiche: Spread the chosen filling mixture over each crust. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the filling and sprinkle with cheese.
- Freezing Instructions: Carefully place each quiche on a baking sheet and put it in the freezer on a level surface. Once fully hardened wrap each assembled (but unbaked) quiche tightly in plastic wrap, then foil. Label with the filling type and date. Freeze for up to 6 months.
- To Bake from Frozen: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Unwrap the quiche and bake directly from frozen for 50–60 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden. If baking fresh, reduce baking time to 35–40 minutes.
