Several asked for the Quiche recipe.
We'll publish it below.
Nick appeared in time to help transport
the nice gifts home and to
remove the ribbons from Denise's hair
Ham and Cheese Quiche
(Grandma Sally's Version)
2 unbaked pie shells
Bake the empty pie shells in a 425 degree oven for 5 minutes
Remove the shells and cool slightly
Turn the oven down to 350 degrees
8 eggs slightly beaten
1 cup half and half cream
1- 1/2 cups milk
1 tsp dry mustard mixed with 1 Tb. water
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
Mix well...this is enough liquid for 2 pies
Into each baked pie shell layer...
1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated swiss cheese
1/2 cup finely diced ham
2 Tbs. sliced green onion
(Optional additions)
Mushrooms Sauteed in 1 Tb. butter
Red or green pepper finely chopped
!/4 cup canned french fried onions
Place the pies on a foil covered baking sheet
Pour the egg/milk mixture carefully
over the layers of cheese and ham etc.
Bake in a 350 degree oven 45 minutes until firm
(can be tested with a toothpick)
Remove from the oven and cool at least 20 minutes
before cutting into wedges.
(Can be made the day before
and kept in the fridge
and heated when ready to serve
This actually helps the flavors to intermix
and is much easier to cut when cold)
