Ham Quiche

"I am fast becoming hooked on quichés and breakfast casseroles. My tastes have changed so much since becoming a member of recipezaar. Things I would never eat before I love now. I guess I just needed to try them."

  1. 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!
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. It was delicious! It took more like 45 min. to bake.
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. 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.

Tweaks

  1. I changed up the recipe to what I had on hand. I subbed diced cherry tomatoes for the bell pepper and Manchego cheese for the Swiss. I supplemented the half and half with skim milk but only used 2 cups which was still too much because it spilled over the pie crust. I prebaked the frozen pie crust for 5 minutes then added the filling and topped with the tomatoes. I baked at 425º for 10 minutes, then while reading the reviews decided to up the temp from 325º to 375º. It still needed an additional 15 minutes for a total of 45 minutes. I then let it rest for 15 minutes - perfect. Nice and light texture and very interesting flavor with the Manchego.

I would like to let you all know that I am no longer able to review your recipes that I have tried. since they changed the site around webtv does not supprt zaars new site.I have a webtv not a computer and webtv does not support the new recipezaar site. so I will no longer be able to review your great recipes,nor will I be able to put my own recipes on here.Please don't think I wouldn't like to review your recipes,it was one of the nice parts of zaar that I did enjoy doing. So please forgive!!! I am Married to the same guy for 40 years,I Have 2 beautiful Daughters, who have given me 6 grand and glorious grandchildren. I love to cook,in fact you could call it my favorite hobby My pet peeve is telemarketers,Every time I get busy with my recipe hobby one of them will call and knock me off the web,and of coarse I waste precious time getting back on.I am disabled,so I no longer work,and have plenty of time to pursue my hobby. My best dish I make is Lasagna but thats just because I love lasagna.I am also asked to bring No-Bake cookies at all of our potlucks, and linger-longers at church.Meat loaf is another often requested dish I am asked to bring...... NOT MY meatloaf but .... My husbands. He is as good a cook as I am,He can cook anything I can cook, and I can cook anything he can cook,but some things I make better,and some He makes better...So we do a lot of compromising at our house.
