Quiche

I got this recipe off recipezaar.com and it was so good. I love that it can use up leftovers too! Instead of just making it to freeze I made two and put one in the freezer and baked the other for dinner. It took a long time to finish cooking in my oven but that could just be my oven's temperature issues. I used half a pound of "bulk" sausage, frozen spinach and half cheddar/half mozzarella. Everyone loved this except Corrine and I didn't even have her try it...she just had a sandwich for dinner instead:)
