Farmer's Quiche



Use your favorite crust and add this mixture:
  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 c. milk
  • 1/2 c. heavy whipping cream
  • 1 onion
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1/2 pound of smoked/uncured cottage ham, diced
  • 1/2 c. shredded swiss cheese
  • 1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 Tbsp. dried chives, or 1 Tbsp. fresh
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Tomatoes

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. In pan over medium heat, sautee onions in butter until almost clear. Add chopped ham and sautee approximately three minutes. Remove pan from heat. In large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, cream, chives, and salt and pepper to your liking. Fold in onions and ham from the pan. Pour all into crust and top with sliced tomatoes. Bake 35-40 minutes; crust should be golden and flaky and filling cooked and set. Remove from heat, cool 5-10 minutes, then enjoy. This also makes nice leftovers for lunch the next day, served with a garden salad.
