Easy Quiche

Submitted by Shawn C

"this was the first quiche I ever ate or made all in one. In fact I posted this and the picture right after consuming 2 slices! I would have added mushrooms and spinach if I had them but this was yummy just like this."

The first time I made this the crust was mushy on the bottom. The second time I decided to pre bake the pie shell for 8 minutes and then put the filling in and bake it. I found it took longer than 45 minutes to bake, closer to 55 minutes and it turned out perfectly. I omitted the ham and added some chopped spinach and my family loved it.

I haven't tried the recipe but it certainly "a thing of beauty".

I've now made this twice. Once with the listed ham & cheese and the second with all veggies. Both times I used a refrigerated rolled pie crust. Both quiches were excellent. I liked that this uses milk instead of cream and how easy it is to prepare. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
