Katie's Quiche recipe

• 1 frozen pie shell
• 4 large eggs
• 3/4 cup (120ml) milk or cream
• 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper
• 1 cup shredded or crumbled cheese (feta or cheddar are my go-tos)
• up to 2 cups veggies or protein (spinach, tomato, broccoli, asparagus, ham, green onion, bacon etc)

Fill the pie shell with your add-ins and cheese. Mix the egg and milk in a bowl, and pour into the pie shell until full. Give it a gentle stir to mix in the shell. Bake at 350 for 45 minutes - check that the centre is set. Fits perfectly in a freezer bag to freeze for a friend - make 2 at a time for maximum sharing potential!
