Quiche in a Bag



Many years back I started the practice of making freezer meals.  These are meals that you make ahead of time, freeze, and then take out and thaw when you are ready to cook them.  I usually try and to put 20- 30 meals, 5 different recipes, in the freeze before summer hits as it is our busiest time of year.  It is great for when you are in a hurry because it cuts out the prep time.  They are helpers for your budget when you stock up on items that are on sale so you aren't running to the store to buy ingredients at full price.  They are nutritious because they are not coming from a cardboard box filled with preservatives.  I pulled out my Quiche in a Bag yesterday and we all enjoyed this warm rich egg dish.  Hope you enjoy it also!

This makes 4 meals:


4 c. Cooked meat (ham, chicken, sausage etc.)
3 c. raw, blanched; thawed frozen; or canned, drained vegetables
4 c. shredded cheese, cheddar or other flavor
1 c. onion diced
8 c. milk
16 eggs
2 c. flour
2T. + 2t. baking powder


Combine meat, vegetable, cheese and onion.  Place this mixture in a labeled 1-gallon freezer bag.  With mixer or blender, combine the milk, eggs, flour, and baking powder in a bowl.  Pour into the bag with the meat/veggie mixture.  Seal and freeze.  To serve, thaw completely.  Shake bag well and pour into a sprayed deep dish pie plate.  Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes, until lightly browned on top and well set in the center.  Cool about 5 minutes before serving.

  1. If you are looking to have a crust with your quiche you can sprinkle corn meal in your deep dish after you have sprayed it with cooking spray. Pour the egg mix in and bake.
