Recipe: Quick Ham and Cheese Quiche

I made these quiches for weekend company and they were a hit after reheating in the oven for a short time at 350'. Or microwave individual wedges as needed. I have also frozen them after baking.  After defrosting in the refrigerator, let sit on the counter to come to room temperature before warming in the oven.
