Ham and Cheese Quiche

Here's the other recipe, as promised! Enjoy!

Ham and Cheese Quiche

• pate brisee (see recipe from earlier this month - 1/2 is needed)
• 1/2 cup ham, diced
• 1/2 cup shredded gruyere cheese (I'll confess to often making it with marble, 1/2 mozza, or med cheddar, depending on what's in the fridge, but gruyere really does make a difference!)
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup half and half
• s&p
• sprinkle of nutmeg
• few dollops of butter

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Roll out 1/2 pate brisee to fit an 9" pie plate and transfer to pie dish.
3. Whisk together eggs, cream, s&p and nutmeg really well. (In the words of Aunt Nancy - "Beat the livin' daylights out of it").
4. Scater ham and cheese evenly in pie dish. Pour egg mixture over top. Add a few dollops of butter to the top.
5. Bake in pre-heated oven for 15 minutes, then turn oven down to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until top of quiche is starting to brown.
7. Remove quiche from oven and let sit about 10 minutes before cutting into it. ENJOY!
