To prepare this quiche, simply remove it from its packaging. It is best heated in an oven to ensure the crust becomes crisp and the filling is warmed through evenly. Place it on a baking sheet and bake at a moderate temperature until it is heated through and lightly golden. Avoid microwaving if possible, as this can make the crust soggy. It can be served as is or with a simple green salad for a complete meal. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
