“I wanted to make a quiche but didn’t want the usual flavors, so I used ingredients I had in my pantry and refrigerator to come up with this recipe," says Tamie Bradford of Grand Forks AFB, North Dakota. "I was surprised at the great taste and how well the flavors came together. My neighbor asked for the recipe and had the same success!”

Ingredients

  • 2 unbaked pastry shells (9 inches)
  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 2 envelopes taco seasoning, divided
  • 2/3 cup salsa
  • 2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 cups half-and-half cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Got this out of the Freezer pleasers Cookbook as i just had a baby and am looking for dishes to freeze and eat. This quiche was much different than other quiches and was fantastic! Everyone, including my 2 young daughters, loved it. We didnt include the olives as that is not in their palette yet and it didnt feel like we were missing a flavor. Am recommending this to other skating moms at our rink!

This is really good, and I love that it makes an extra quiche for the freezer. My only change was to use egg substitute and regular milk, and to add some cayenne to the egg mixture for a kick.

This dish smelled delicious as it was baking, but the baking time was more than double double what the recipe stated. I had to bake this for 80 minutes before the center was finally set....I would expect that baking one from frozen would take even longer. However, the finished dish was tasty although I felt the flavor from the taco seasoning was very strong. I would try making this again but with half the amount of taco seasoning, and now I know how long this actually takes to bake in my oven.

I've made this recipe twice and my family really loves it! I leave the salsa out and put out sour cream, guacamole, & salsa to top the quiche with. It's a really easy recipe and is good with just canned chicken if you're pressed for prep time.
