Ham and Cheese Quiche
This has become one of my favorite recipes ever!  And this Ham & Cheese Quiche recipe can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or even dinner with a side salad.  That’s what makes this recipe so versatile.
This recipe starts with unrolling the crust into your pie plate.
This recipe doesn’t have too many ingredients! Â Eggs, half & half, onions, olive oil, salt & nutmeg.
And of course the main ingredients….ham and swiss cheese.
First, brown the onions for 15 minutes. Â Add the salt and the ground nutmeg!
Put the onions on the bottom of the pan. Â Then add the cheese and ham.
Pour the egg and half & half mixture over the ham, cheese, and onions. Â Bake for 1 hour and cool for 10 minutes before serving.
You can make this a complete meal by adding a side salad or cooked veggies!  It’s actually a really good recipe and very easy (with or without a good crust).
