Ham and Cheese Quiche

Friday, February 25, 2011 | Publish by MizWasy

Ham and cheese is a great combo . . . in grilled sandwiches, on a pizza, or in a quiche.  The person who coined the phrase, "Real men don't eat quiche," must never have eaten one.  Quiche is a super dish on the fly when you need something semi-substantial but don't feel like slaving in the kitchen.

Pop your quiche into the oven, toss up a salad and Voila!  You've got dinner.  Here's the recipe for one of my favorite quiches.  Feel free to sub out items you may not like.  A couple of things to note - quiche add-ins need to be precooked or steamed (this makes it easy to use up leftovers) and should not total more than 2 to 2 1/2 cups.

Ham and Cheese Quiche

Ingredients:

2 tsp bacon grease (or olive oil)
1 medium onion, sliced into half rings
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup diced, cooked ham 
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups whole milk  or half/half)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 ounces swiss cheese, shredded
4 ounces provolone cheese, shredded
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425°F.  Place pie crust into 9-inch deep dish pie plate.

In a skillet, heat bacon grease over medium heat.  Add onions and cook until translucent.  Add garlic and continue cooking until onions have a bit of color to them.

In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.  Toss in salt, pepper and nutmeg and stir to blend.  Place shredded cheeses into pie crust, then top with onion/garlic mixture and lastly sprinkle ham over onions.  Pour the egg mixture over this.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.  Lower heat setting to 350°F and bake an additional 30 minutes.  Allow pie to settle for 10 minutes before cutting.

6 servings

Classic combinations for quiche:  Spinach, Bacon and Swiss, Mushroom with Shallots and Gruyère, Chicken & Broccoli; Lobster (with swiss and cheddar cheeses); Asparagus and Crab . . . . Anything will go into a quiche with great results, so be creative and you might make a signature quiche dish all your own.  Have fun!
