Many Canadian families have a ham for Easter dinner. We will be in my house this year. A big ham usually means a meaty bone to make bean soup with after, as well as plenty of leftovers. This is a nice way to use up some of that delicious cooked ham. But not too much, you want lots for sandwiches too.
I used a pre-made pastry here, but of course you can make your own.
Ham and Cheese Quiche
Ingredients
1 (9
inch) refrigerated pie pastry
1 cup grated
Cheddar cheese
½ cup grated
Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons all-purpose
flour
½ cup diced
cooked ham
2 tablespoons honey
mustard
1
¼ cups half-and-half
5 eggs, beaten
¼ cup chopped
green onions
¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
Preheat the oven to
400 degrees F
Press pastry into the
bottom of a 9-inch pie plate.
Bake pastry for 5
minutes. Poke holes into the pastry with a fork and continue cooking until
lightly browned, about 5 minutes more.
Remove crust from the
oven, and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F
Mix 1/2 cup Cheddar
cheese, Swiss cheese, and 1 tablespoon flour in a bowl; spread over warm crust.
Mix ham and honey
mustard together in a bowl; spoon over cheese mixture.
Mix half-and-half,
eggs, green onions, remaining 1 tablespoon flour, and salt together in bowl.
Pour mixture carefully over ham layer; top with remaining ½ cup of Cheddar
cheese.
Bake for 40 to 50
minutes until set in the center. Cool for 10 minutes before cutting.
