Directions: |
Directions:Flute the edges of the crust. Sauté onions until light brown. Crisp ham or bacon, drain and crumble in small bits. Lightly brown onion in the skillet used to crisp meat. Sprinkle meat, cheese and onion into crust/s. Mix other ingredients and pour carefully over the cheese, onion, meat mixture. Put in oven preheated to 450°. Reduce heat to 400°. (I place the quiche on a cookie sheet, since I usually use Pet Ritz crusts - and the tins are flimsy.) Bake for 12 minutes. Reduce heat to 325° and continue baking until custard is set and lightly browned (25 to 30 minutes for 10 inch, less for 8 inch ----check it at 15 minutes.) |

Notes: Real men in my family like quiche, especially when it has plenty of meat.
This can be the basic recipe for any kind of quiche. Spinach, crab, shrimp, broccoli or whatever is desired. Just drain the ingredients well and cook any liquid out before putting in the crust.
When all the slices are gone from a half or whole ham, there is plenty of ham to make this quiche and still have enough left on the bone to make soup.
