Fridays with Julie - Ham, Cheese, and Green Chile Quiche


I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter last weekend.  We had a great time celebrating with friends and our church family.  We hosted a few friends for an Easter lunch and egg hunt for the kids.  Why am I telling you all this?  Well, because for the next 2 weeks, my recipes will include the left over ham of course!  Aside from ham sandwiches, I made the quiche I'm going to share with you today.  We had it for "brinner" - you know, breakfast for dinner, one of my favorite meals. 

Ham, Cheese & Green Chile Quiche
Ingredients:
  • 1 pre-made pie crust (yes if I were super mom I would have made my own)
  • 5 eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (I used monterey jack but cheddar or any other cheese would work well)
  • 2 cups chopped ham
  • 1 small can of chopped green chiles
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Place crust in ungreased 9-inch pie pan (I prefer glass)
  • In a bowl, mix remaining 6 ingredients.
  • Pour in pie crust.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes then cover the edge of the crust with foil.
  • Continue baking for 30-45 minutes until it begins to brown and the center no longer "jiggles."  I'm sure that there is a real baking term (perhaps it's when the center is firm) either way, you know what I mean.
  • Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
