Notes
- How to Freeze
- Bake these as directed in the recipe below and allow to cool slightly before transferring the quiche cups to a baking tray. Flash-freeze the quiche on a baking tray, uncovered, (making sure none of the quiche cups are touching one another) for about 1-2 hours, or until firm.
- Once firm, store quiche cups in either a freezer storage bag or airtight container and place back in the freezer until ready to bake. The reason for flash-freezing is to not only help prevent ice crystals from forming (freezer burn), but also to prevent the quiche from freezing to one another.
