"When I was expecting our daughter, I made and froze these cheesy quiches as well as several other dishes," writes Christena Palmer of Green River, Wyoming. "After her birth, it was nice to have dinner in the freezer when my husband and I were too tired to cook."

My teenage son made this for dinner. Super easy and really good. I would leave off just a 1/3 of a cup of the half and half

This was delicious! I prefer my pastry shell homemade- the only other changes were using whole milk in place of cream and some onion powder in place of minced onion (used what I had on hand). I will definitely make this again! Mine was ready after 30 min of baking.

Very easy to make. It was the first thing to go at a holiday potluck. Added a few dashes of dried chives to give it a little extra flavor.

I make this all the time and my husband loves it! I usually make it in a deep dish pie plate and double the amount of egg mixture and it is delicious. Definitely the easiest quiche recipe I've ever made and soo good!

Very good and very easy. The only change I made was a light sprinkle of garlic powder with the salt and pepper. Served for a family get together and everyone loved it! Now I'll make more and pop in the freezer for a quick brunch or dinner.
