A very tasty egg mixture to be served along with your main meal. I am not sure where I found the original recipe, but I modified it by adding sweet red peppers and spices to enhance the taste. Ingredients:
1 whole 9 inch pie shell, unbaked (homemade or purchased) |
4 large eggs |
4 ounces cream cheese |
1 1/4 cups half-and-half cream |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic powder |
4 ounces grated swiss cheese |
13 ounces canned flaked ham (2 - 6 1/2 oz. cans) |
1 large sweet red pepper, seeded and sliced into long thin strips, divided |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.
2. In a medium size mixing bowl, combine eggs, cream cheese, half & half cream, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and garlic powder; mix well to blend.
3. Layer grated Swiss cheese over the bottom of the unbaked pie shell.
4. Layer flaked ham over Swiss cheese.
5. Layer 1/2 of the red pepper strips over the cheese.
6. Pour egg mixture over the top.
7. Top with remaining sweet red pepper strips, placing them diagonally (from centre to outside) in a decorative manner.
8. Place in oven on middle rack and bake in preheated 350 F oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until cooked through. Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick or a wooden skewer into the middle of the Quiche; it should come out clean.
9. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
