Mexican-Inspired Quiche Recipe for Easy Freezing and Reheating

Features:
    Cuisine:

    My family really gobbled this up. I made one with a regular frozen pie crust and skipped all the pre-cooking steps, just threw the ingredients in the crust and baked it, and that worked fine. I made the other crust less. It was a little strange to put the cumin and chili powder in an empty pie plate, but it came out fine, too. Directions were good. Serving size was a bit confusing though. Overall, an excellent recipe.

    South-Of-The-Border Quiche (Oamc), This came from Cooking for 2 magazine, one of my first OAMC recipes!! This makes two pies It’s also meat-free, if you’re a vegan that eats eggs and milk, this will work for you too All the stuff I like so I can’t wait to try it, since I’m just getting started with OAMC , My family really gobbled this up I made one with a regular frozen pie crust and skipped all the pre-cooking steps, just threw the ingredients in the crust and baked it, and that worked fine I made the other crust less It was a little strange to put the cumin and chili powder in an empty pie plate, but it came out fine, too Directions were good Serving size was a bit confusing though Overall, an excellent recipe , Delicious! I found this recipe in Taste of Home Freezer Pleasers Cookbook I halved the recipe and made one quiche because I know things get lost in my freezer (I have the best intentions, but I forget about it or want something else) used 2% milk instead of half-n-half because it’s what I had and red onion in place of green onion Instead of pre-made crust I made Recipe #365637 Thank you Amy for your delicious recipe!
