Drifting away from the sweet pies this week, quiche makes an appearance. This breakfast pie can be made with various ingredients and is also freezable-to be baked later.
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (or whatever cheese you like), 4 teaspoons all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cooked ham, diced, 3 eggs, 1 cup milk or cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground dry mustard, 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish, 2 tablespoons chopped pimento peppers, for garnish.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, toss 4 teaspoons flour with the grated cheese. Sprinkle mixture into the pie shell. On top of cheese, sprinkle the ham.
In medium bowl, combine eggs, milk or cream, and then add salt and mustard. Beat until smooth and pour over the cheese and ham in the pie shell. Cover edges with aluminum foil to protect from over-browning.
Bake in the preheated 400 degree oven for 60 minutes, or until filling is set and crust is golden brown. Garnish with parsley and pimento, if desired.
Ingredients in place of/in addition to the ham: prosciutto, sausage, spinach, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, asparagus, etc.
"As easy as pie!"
