Written By Carol T

Ingredients

  • Store-bought frozen pie crust (see below)

Note: Majority of recipes call for deep dish frozen pie crust, however by mistake, got the smaller pie crusts (sold in pairs usually found in the freezer aisle) and they turned out perfectly (same ingredients and quantity above, you just get two quiches)!
