Notes
Frozen pie crust? You can definitely use frozen pie crust. I highly recommend a deep dish frozen pie crust and thaw it on the counter first, while preparing the ingredients.
Make Ahead: Prepare quiche up to the point of baking, cover with saran wrap, and pop it in the refrigerator. This can be fore the day before and baked in the morning. Gravy can be made ahead of time also and stored in the refrigerator, in a separate air-tight container. Reheat it slowly in the microwave.
