Southern Breakfast Quiche

Mama has a Sunday School breakfast tomorrow at her church and, of course, she waits until the last minute to figure out something to bake'n'take! (Love you, Mama!) So, I did some searching and found a tried and true recipe from an old church cookbook for a breakfast quiche... and like any good daughter would do, I cooked it FOR her. :) Okay, okay... maybe I just like to cook.

Well, I think I hit the jackpot with this one, guys!  I just might be making this a lot in the near future. It's so easy!

This recipe makes 2 nice-sized quiches (in 8 in. cake pans).  You can use a pie-crust if you like that sort-of thing, but I just like the filling. It turned out quite nicely!

Ingredients:

2 pie crusts (optional)

7 eggs

4 c milk

1 small onion, chopped

1 c swiss cheese, shredded

1 c colby cheese, shredded

1 c chopped ham (I used black forest ham!)

parmesan cheese (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Saute your onion and ham until tender while the oven is heating up.  Mix the eggs, milk, and shredded cheese in a large mixing bowl and then pour over the ham mixture. 

Pour into cake pans as evenly as possible.  Sprinkle with parmesan cheese if you'd like a topping and then pop them in the oven.

Bake the quiches for 15 minutes and then reduce the oven heat to 300 degrees and bake for another 30 minutes (or until the eggs are cooked and the top in browned a bit).

Let sit for at least 10 minutes before serving to ensure cohesion. Serve and enjoy! :)
