Ham Quiche

Simply fantastic.... a little note: As mentioned before, this does take a little longer then the stated time to solidify....I left it in for a whole 20mins more then called for time. But well worth the wait, it was delicious and my three young kids went back for seconds (rare!) and raved about how mom was the "best cook ever" :o) I didn't let them know it was a Zaar recipe!

This was wonderful. Very creamy. Very rich. I added a small jar of drained mushrooms, and as another reviewer had suggested, I only used 2 cups of Half and Half. I also sprinkled paprika on top before baking. I had to add 20 minutes to the final cooking time. I will definitely make this again and again.

This tasted great, but the timing is way off. I had to cook this for about an hour. Also, it never quite set up all the way. I think cutting the liquid down to 2 cups would be perfect.

Just got this out of the oven and it smells divine. I cut back the half&half to 2 cups because after I'd opened the 3 eggs I noticed another with a crack on the shell so threw that in also. Don't know if it was the extra egg or not, but it took just about an hour before the knife came out clean.

Hi Darlene. Actually I made two of these quiches for a brunch I had. They were gobbled up before I knew what happened. I also loved the color that the red bell peppers gave to the dish. I served your quiches along with a big bowl of fresh fruit and pitchers of Mimosas. I am so glad I found this recipe. Easy to prepare, pretty to look at, and oh so tasty. Thanks again, you have such great recipes.

Delicious quiche! I did have to make a couple of subs to use what I had on hand. I didn't have half-and-half, only about 2/3 cup heavy cream and plenty of 1% milk, so I used the cream and made up the difference with milk. Since I used so much 1% milk, I know it probably wasn't as rich as the original recipe, but at least I saved a few calories and fat grams. :) I also didn't have Swiss cheese on hand, but had a big block of Cabot's Vintage Choice Extra Sharp Cheddar that was begging to be used, so I went with it. We loved the flavor it gave the quiche. Rather than mixing the red pepper strips in, I laid them around the top to add a little visual interest. I think next time I would reduce the liquid to about 2 cups, but that may be just because I subbed so much reduced-fat milk and it didn't set up quite as firmly as I would have liked. I would also prebake the pie crust a bit, then just spread the ham mixture over it, then pour the egg mixture over (I just find that easier). We loved it, though, and it is a tasty way to use leftover ham. Thanks for posting the recipe, Darlene!

This recipe was the answer to our leftover Honey Baked Ham we served for Christmas. Very easy and quite delicious! Perfect served with my Spinach Salad and crispy French rolls. Everyone enjoyed their meal and has asked that this quiche be served again! Thanks Darlene!

This is a nice start, but there were some problems with this as it is written. I made this exactly as posted and found there was way too much filling for a 9-inch pie crust (even though I used a deep dish one). It also needed a lot more time to cook than indicated - at least 15 more minutes. Finally, I was disappointed with the flavor and realized that it really needs some seasoning (salt and pepper to begin with). I think if it had cheddar cheese it might be more flavorful.

This is a very good starter recipe. I used pre-made crust, because I am horrible at making crust. I did not use green pepper, only because DH hates it. This took about an hour total cooking time. I loved the creaminess of the swiss with the eggs. It was a hit for my Christmas morning breakfast with Eggnog French Toast Casserole (my own recipe, not yet up here). 4 stars, only because the cooking time was way off. Delicious recipe, especially considering that it was my very first quiche! Thanks!!

Great Christmas breakfast - or anytime! This was easy to put together and a nice entree with fresh fruit. I used 2 cups of half and half following others suggestions and had to cook it 15 minutes longer than the recipe.
The bottom of the crust was nice and crisp and my guests loved it.
Thanks, Carole in Orlando

Everyone thought it was tasty...BUT I also agree that the timing was way off. I even cooked it extra 20 minutes and I could of cooked even longer. I also cut back on the cream and I used only 2 cups, and I could of cut back even more. If your using a 9 in frozen pie shell it's too much and it will spill over. I think I would only use one cup of cream if I'm using a frozen pie shell again.
