Notes
Instead of kale you can use spinach, chard or collard greens.
A crustless quiche can be frozen after it has been baked and cooled. If you want to freeze the crustless quiche as a whole, bake it in a metal pie pan because it is freezer safe.
To reheat your frozen crustless quiche, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight and then bake it in the oven at 400ºF for about 20-30 minutes.
You can also freeze individual slices of your crustless quiche. Wrap each slice tightly in foil and freeze.
To reheat, unwrap from foil, place on a microwave safe plate and microwave for 1-2 minutes. You also reheat the individual slice of crustless quiche in a toaster oven
