I use a deep dish frozen pie crust for this recipe, you can find them in any grocery store in the frozen section. I like to use deep dish so there is enough room for all that delicious filling

You can store the cooked quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days

The easiest way to reheat leftover quiche is in the microwave for about 45 seconds to a minute - you just want it warmed through or it could get rubbery

This is the perfect recipe to help use up that leftover Easter ham
