How to Make Quiche with frozen pie Crust:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Using a fork, poke holes in both pie crusts so heat can vent to prevent crust from bubbling up. Bake both pie crusts for about 8 minutes, then remove them and let cool on wire rack. While crusts are cooking, fry bacon until crisp and chop into about 1/2 inch pieces.

mushrooms for quiche, broccoli Mushroom quiche

Melt butter in large skillet and add mushrooms, raise temperature to med high heat to brown mushrooms. Because of the juice emitted from mushrooms during cooking, mushrooms have a tendency to just boil and become rubbery and tough. Temperature has to be high to brown them, also you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil to help bring the butter up to higher temperature without burning.

sautéing broccoli and mushrooms for quiche

Add the broccoli florets and sauté or stir fry until the broccoli is tender and the mushrooms are golden.

Divide your vegetable mixture between the two pie crusts, laying the veggies on the bottom of each pie shell, then add the bacon pieces to each pie.

easy quiche, egg mixture for this easy quiche recipe

Beat eggs in a medium bowl, add half & half, basil, oregano and salt and pepper to taste. Whip well to incorporate all the ingredients together.

Pour the egg mixture into each pie, equally. This is easier if the pies are placed on a cooking sheet prior to pouring and then just slide the rack with the pies into the oven. Make a “tent” with enough aluminum foil to cover both pies to prevent the crust from over browning. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees F then turn the oven down to 325 degrees F and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the pies are just set in the center. Remove foil and cook 1-2 minutes until golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean.

Remove from oven and let cool on wire rack prior to serving.

Serve it for breakfast, lunch and we have even had it for dinner. Oh yeah, it’s also totally perfect for bunch.
