Ham & Mushroom Quiche Recipe

Saturday, I needed to take a meal to a P.E.O. friend who recently broke her hip.  Our P.E.O. group passed around a sign up sheet to take turns taking her meals twice a week for a few weeks.  Kind of interesting that she was in Arkansas to help her 102 year old aunt when she fell and broke her hip.   

This is a favorite recipe.  After having it for one meal, any extra pieces heat up in the microwave well.  It is easy to transport to take to others.


HAM & MUSHROOM QUICHE                      from Southern Living cookbooks

1 baked pie crust
3 green onions, sliced
1 T. melted butter
1 c. shredded Swiss cheese
3 slices bacon, crumbled
1  8 oz. can mushrooms
1 c. shredded ham (I like small chunks instead)
4 eggs, beaten 
1 sm. can evaporated milk
1/8 t. garlic powder
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. dry mustard
dash nutmeg
dash white pepper

Saute onions in butter.  Add mushrooms, ham and bacon.  Sprinkle cheese over crust.  Spoon meats over cheese.  Combine remaining ingredients; beat well.  Pour into shell.  Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until set and slightly browned.

Unbaked quiche can be covered with aluminum foil and frozen.  To serve, thaw overnight in refrigerator.  Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes.
