Quiche


Aaron doesn't like recipes with baked eggs. So when he was going out of town I decided it was the perfect time to bake a quiche! I love quiche. Breakfast food in pie crust...what's not to love?

Quiche
From Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book

1 pie crust
4 beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half, light cream or milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup chopped cooked ham (I used some ham and some bacon)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Prepare and roll out pie crust. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry. Trim; crimp edge as desired. Line unpricked pastry with a double thickness of foil. Bake at 450 for 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 4-5 minutes more or until pastry is set and dry. Remove from oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 325.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl stir together eggs, half-and-half, salt and pepper. Stir in ham. In a small bowl toss together the cheese and flour. Add to egg mixture; mix well.

Pour egg mixture into hot, baked pastry shell. Bake at 325 for 40-45 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
