Personal Notes:
This is a great make ahead recipe. Cook and freeze. Bring to room temperature and reheat. It is best when not over cooked, you want your custard firm but still creamy. You can get the crust, bacon and cheese done the night before and then add the egg mixture right before you want to bake the quiche.
