Serves/Makes:6

Ingredients

• 1 unbaked deepdish pastry shell
• 1 cup (225 ml) diced ham
• 1 cup (225 ml) chopped broccoli pieces
• 1 cup (225 ml) chopped cauliflour
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 cup (225 ml) or more grated Swiss cheese (I prefer Colby Jack or a blend. You can also use cheddar.)
• 3 eggs
• (these amounts may vary depending on the size of your shell, you made need to use more of less..)

Preparation

• Place pastry in a 350 degree (175 C.) oven for about 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let cool while you dice and chop filling ingredients.
• Mix or layer the ham, broccoli, cauliflour, and onions in the pie shell.
• Cover the top with a healthy helping of cheese. Make sure the top is covered and heaped.
• Mix the three eggs until blended, then pour slowly over the top of the cheese.
• Place quiche in 400 degree (200 C.) oven for 15 minutes.
• Reduce heat to 325 degrees (175 C.) and continue baking for 45 minutes.
• Let quiche stand for 5 minutes before cutting.

Comments

This is a simple quiche and it can be changed to fit your moods easily. It is good served with a nice green salad. The trick is to make sure you put plenty of cheese on top, as this will be a top crust when the quiche is done.
