Quiche in a Bag

Quiche in a Bag

1 cup meat; cooked- diced or crumbled
3/4 cup vegetables, anything you like
1 cup cheddar cheese -- shredded
1/4 cup onion, diced
2 cups milk
4 eggs
1/8 teaspoon Tabasco Sauce
1/2 cup flour ,whole wheat
2 teaspoons baking powder

Combine meat, vegetable, cheese,and onion.
Place this mixture in a gallon freezer ziplock bag.
With a mixer or blender, combine the milk, eggs, Tabasco sauce, flour and baking powder.
(I use a whisk and a deep 2-qt bowl.)
Pour into the bag with the meat and vegetable mixture.
Freeze. (I freeze flat on a cookie sheet so I can stack them.)

Thaw completely. Shake bag well and pour into a sprayed 10" deep dish pie plate or quiche pan. Sprinkle with paprika if desired.

Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes,until lightly browned on top and well set in the center. cool about 5 minutes before serving.

For a vegetarian meal, leave out the meat and increase the vegetable by 1 cup.

Makes 6 servings

We especially like ham and spinach or broccoli. Sauteed onions
and swiss cheese are good.

Assembly line ideas when making multiples:
--write on gallon ziplocs with a permanent pen (ie, "Quiche in a Bag, date, time, ham/mushroom bake 350 for 35-45 minutes")
--put meat, vegetable and cheese in ziploc bags first
--mix other ingredients one recipe at a time, pour into bag, seal &
refrigerate.
Repeat--lay flat on cookie sheet and freeze. When frozen, remove cookie sheet and stack.

I don't use a blender or mixer at all with the quiches. I just use a
large whisk in a deep 2-qt glass bowl with a pouring lip/handle and it works great.
I realize now the recipes says to use a blender...I never bothered and don't think you need to. The flour mixture blends more easily than when you do a Bisquick impossible pie.

This sounds like an excellent idea Brenda, thanks!

this is a great recipe. It's very like the one I use from 30 day Gourmet, and that another friend of mine introduced me too.

works well, and is a fantastic way to freeze up extra eggs and cheese when you hit a good sale.

I ditto Brenda, don't bother with the blender unless your cheese needs grating.

I sometimes chop the onions, cheese, and meat bitties etc in my food processor and clean it out with a spin using the liquid ingredients after.
