This make ahead freezer meals quiche is such an amazing recipe because quiche can be enjoyed as a breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner!

The best recipe for make ahead freezer quicheWith crazy busy schedules and so many ‘to dos’ and things going on at work-after work- just life in general, I’m finding myself making more ‘make ahead’ and freezer meals lately. I’m really relying on my good ‘ole freezer so that when mealtime comes around, I’m not left wondering what to make.

If I can open my freezer and pull something out to warm and enjoy, I’m calling that a win! But I don’t like things that taste like ‘freezer’ you know? Certain things just freeze and reheat well, like this quiche!

Easy and delicious quiche meal prepThis make ahead freezer quiche is absolutely perfect, it’s a modified version of a recipe I included in my cookbook Fast and Easy Five Ingredient Recipes: A Cookbook for Busy People and one I’ve and made many many times.

I make a vegetarian version with spinach/carrots/cheddar (or really any combination of cheese and veggies you’d like) or I make meat version with prosciutto and Parmesan cheese.

Quiche always reminds me of my mom and growing up. We would always have quiche on Sundays or when guests came over, because it has a super quick prep time and then in could bake in the oven while we were spending time with family and friends.

With Mother’s Day coming up, I’m thinking even more about my amazing mother, and I definitely thought this time of year was perfect to share it.

The most amazing freezer quiche for meal prepThere are a few ways you could make this quiche:

  • Make and bake immediately – then serve and enjoy.
  • Make ahead- put in the freezer unbaked (just be careful transferring it so it doesn’t spill when putting it in the freezer) and then put it directly from the freezer into the oven.
  • Make and bake ahead, then put it in the freezer in individual servings so all you have to do is warm it and go.

I’ve included the different baking instructions for whichever way you decide you’d like to make this quiche, and I’ve included the ingredient lists for vegetarian or meat quiche.

Whichever way you make this make ahead freezer quiche recipe, you’ll absolutely love it! It’s so perfect for when you don’t really feel like cooking and want something delicious to enjoy. It’s also suuuuper awesome for meal prep. You can just reheat a slice and enjoy it for a grab and go breakfast, lunch or dinner.

    How long will the unbaked, frozen quiche last in the freezer? Thank you!

      I’d say 3 months (I’ve had one in the freezer for 8 months that I just baked and it was fine, but 3 months is the general rule of thumb for freezer meals!)

      Yay – now you have a quiche in the freezer ready for whenever you need a quick meal. There are several ways you can warm it up. One is to just put the whole thing in the fridge the day before you want some, then pop it in the oven at 350 for 20 minutes with some aluminum foil over it so it doesn’t get too brown on top. The other method is to heat it in the microwave. Hope you enjoy!

    Question! I have one of the Pillsbury frozen pie crusts and am wanting to freeze a quiche–am I supposed to thaw or bake the pie crust before I fill it? Or do I fill it frozen, and then the crust cooks when it’s baked later? Thanks!

    Reply
    • Sweetphi says

      July 24, 2018 at 10:16 am

      Yes, you can fill it frozen and then bake it later. What I like to do is take it out of the freezer as I’m prepping the filling, and then fill it when I’m done and either bake it immediately or put it all back in the freezer together 🙂 Hope that helps
