Making a Quiche

[barnwife]

I am making some food for a family that just welcomed their second child. I was planning on a couple quiches as part of it, but don't have disposable pie plates, nor did our local stores.

Use the square containers with or without a crust.

I'd just use the square containers.  Quiche are fine and easy with no crust.  During CSA season we make random no crust quiche all the time in random dishes.  I regularly double and then bake in a rectangular pyrex glass dish.  If it ends up thinner, you just need to watch the bake time.

Another option is checking thrift stores for casserole or baking dishes. That way it won’t matter if the dish gets returned or not

Is a quiche a quiche if there is no crust?

Make them in your pie pans then remove them once cool and put into boxes.  The recipients can then put them in their own pie plate to reheat or just reheat on a cookie sheet.

Technically maybe not.  Could also call it an egg bake, maybe a frittata, or breakfast casserole if you're looking for recipes.  But every quiche recipe I've tried without crust has worked well.  Maybe oil or butter the pan a little.  
 

You could bake them in your pie crust like skimomma says and line with parchent with enough edge to lift it out if you want to do crusts.  Or you could just go buy premade crusts in a disposable pan too.  Crust would be fine in a square pan too.  It's just bake time that might be a little dicey.  

Another option that works well for situations like this is making little egg bakes or quiche in muffin cups.  They freeze well and can take out a few at a time.  Can do with or without crust.

Muffin tins. When cooled, pop them all into a Ziplock or storage container.

Ha. DH's response to my dilemma was "Quiche have crusts?" (How has he not noticed that sometimes they do?)
