Ham, Cheese and Mushroom Quiche

"I've adapted this recipe from one which featured in the pre-Christmas 2008 Australian magazine 'New Idea' as an excellent way to give new life to various leftovers from the Christmas Day meal, in this case, leftover leg ham. This recipe can, of course, be made at any time of year, with leftover ham or ham bought specifically for making this recipe. The preparation time below includes the time needed to bake and cool the pastry case. The other recipes posted from this collection are Recipe #344949, Recipe #345642 and Recipe #345416."

  1. Bluemoon, This was the most delicious quiche I have ever made! Absolutley worth every minute of cooking. This is a stunner. I served this to my PTO officers at the 1st meeting of the year with my Recipe #341044 and iced tea with mint. Perfect lunch! Everyone went home with the recipe and the website address.
     
  2. I made this for my hubby's birthday brunch, and it was a hit! Everyone loved it! It's so tasty, so easy, and looks really impressive! You wouldn't believe some of the comments made by our guests! Thanks for posting! [Made for PRMR]

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority! <br> <br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
