- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions

Notes
- Store leftovers covered in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave in 30 second increments or a 350 degree F oven for 10 minutes or until heated through.
- Leftover quiche can be stored in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to two months. Allow the quiche to cool completely before freezing to avoid condensation forming in the container. Thaw the quiche in the refrigerator before reheating.
