These can be made in advance. All quiches freeze beautifully after they have been cooked. If you are planning to freeze your quiches, do not bake them the entire amount of time, but reduce cooking time by about 10 minutes. Allow quiches to cool to room temperature, wrap airtight and freeze. When reheating, defrost and bring quiches to room temperature. Bake 15 minutes at 350F and they will be perfect.
