Quiche in a Bag (Oamc-Freezer Cooking)

Whatscooking?'s Note:

This is one of my favorite monthly freezer cooking recipes. So easy and cooks up perfectly every time. It's from the Freezer Cooking Manual, but I tweaked it a little. Can be done in endless variations. My favorite combo is chicken, bacon and spinach with swiss cheese. Also great as a vegetarian meal- just skip the meat and add extra veggies.

I have made this once a week for the past couple of weeks. I found that adding about a teaspoon of garlic made a big difference possibly because I used cheddar instead of swiss so it needed a little something else for flavour. I use leftovers for the meat. I cook something for Sunday dinner (roast, fajitas, roast chicken, etc) and at the same time I make up the egg mixture. Then after supper all I do is chop up the leftover meat, add it to the egg mixture, and I have supper ready for Monday. It isn't quite meatless Monday but since it is leftovers it is probably close.

Loved it - easy and good. I used spinach, bacon, and cheddar.

I am more reviewing the idea than the recipe. I had my doubts, but it worked perfectly. I used bacon,cheese,eggs, broccoli. I also used a different pie crust recipe. My eggs turned slightly orange, not sure if it was from the cheese or what, but it tasted delicious. Perfect for a brunch with my picky family. I have another one in the freezer that I'm going to use for a weeknight dinner.
