While the pie shell is par-baking in the oven,
stir together all the dry ingredients in a medium bowl, with
a French whip. Add milk & mix. Then add the eggs & mix
thoroughly. Set aside. In pie shell, sprinkle diced ham, then
cheeses. Then, stir & very carefully pour the milk-egg mixture
over the ham & cheese. Bake in 350 degree oven for about
40 minutes. Ovens vary, so check quiche at about 30 minutes.
Quiche should be golden brown on top & very puffy-(don't
worry, it will settle as it cools). Let Quiche stand for about
10 minutes before cutting & serving. Or, cool completely,
wrap & refrigerate for up to 10 days. This quiche re-heats
very well in the microwave.
Don't be afraid to try new combinations- Cooked breakfast sausage
& grated Swiss cheese or bacon & cheddar are very good.
Add mushrooms, bell pepper, etc. Whatever your family likes.
With this basic recipe, it's easy to be creative. Eat what you
like & like what you eat. |
