While some say "real men don't eat quiche," my hubby would disagree vehemently! Especially when it includes left-over Christmas ham and his favorite Swiss Cheese, that is! Quiche is NOT difficult. It just takes a light touch and the right ingredients. And yes, once again, I "cheated" with a commercial crust.
Ham & Swiss Quiche
 |
| Simply 'yum' |
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 c milk (I used low-fat). If desperate, you can use 1/2 evaporated milk and 1/2 water
- 1/2 c Swiss cheese (cut into small pieces)
- 1/4 c diced sweet onion
- 1/8 - 1/4 c dried parsley flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (or regular pepper)
- approx. 1/4 c grated Parmesan/Romano Cheese for topping
- 1 commercial or home-made pie crust
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Whisk eggs in medium bowl until light and frothy. Add milk and continue whisking until blended.
- Stir in Swiss cheese, salt and red pepper flakes, onion and parsley flakes until mixed. It will be a bit chunky.
- Place pie crust in 9" pie plate and pour in the mixture.
- Top with Parmesan/Romano mix.
- Bake in oven for approximate 20-25 minutes, until knife inserted into the middle of the pie comes out clean and dry. A wee bit of moisture may remain - that's ok!
Note: You may prefer cheddar to Swiss, and you may prefer to mix the Parmesan/Romano into the rest of the mixture, but we really enjoyed it just as it turned out. The top 'crust' was really tasty and looked attractive. A delicious accident, since I made it this way by forgetting to add those cheeses! Whoops.
