With plenty of opportunities for luncheons and brunches coming up, don’t overlook the chance to make an easy quiche. It’s also a simple and frugal, last-minute supper to pull together. Especially if you already have store-bought, frozen pie shells on hand.
The secret to its good taste is the pepper jack cheese. Plus, it’s my grandmother’s recipe, so you know it’s extra special.

This looks incredible! I love how easy this recipe is; I can’t wait to give it a try.

Can they be poured into the premade pie crusts and frozen that way, or does that make the crust soggy? Just wondering if that’s why you said to freeze separate in a Ziploc!
