  • Start pouring in milk while stirring constantly but slowly. Season with some salt and black pepper.
  • Keep cooking and slowly stirring until thickened. Take off heat.
  • Top off each slice of quiche with some gravy when serving.

Notes

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. Prepare quiche up to the point of baking, cover with saran wrap, and pop it in the refrigerator for 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.
