quiche me please

Here is a recipe that I created the other day. It turned out as a flavorful, light breakfast or any other time meal.

Quiche Tart

Pre-made Pie Crust
4 lg Eggs
1/2 Cup Non-fat Milk
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Fresh Cracked Pepper
1/4 tsp Dry Mustard
2 Green Onions, sliced (only the white and light green part)
1/2 Cup Diced Ham (I used Canadian Bacon, but could use any meat in pieces)
1/3 Cup Shredded Cheese (I used a Smoked Cheese blend from Trader Joe's)

Preheat oven to 375 deg Fahrenheit.

Place the pie crust in a tart pan (if you don't have one you could use a pie dish). Place pie crust in dish loosely allowing the slack to fall into the corners of the pan and then lightly press dough into the scalloped edge of the tart pan (if using a pie dish omit this last step). TIP: Make sure to place in pan loosely and not press dough into the corners stretching the dough, regardless of pan/dish used, otherwise the crust will not stay in place during the baking process.

In a bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, salt, pepper, and dry mustard. Add the cheese, ham, and green onions, whisk again.

Pour mixture into your dish lined with the dough.

Place plan on a cookie sheet and place in oven for 35-40 minutes, cooking time depends on how large your dish is and what the dish is made of. Once the eggs look set it should be done and will still cook slightly longer once removed from the oven. You can also you a tooth pick to check if the eggs are done, it should come out clean.


Once slightly cooled, remove outer ring of tart pan, slice and serve.
