Ingredients
1
unbaked 9-inch (4-cup volume) deep-dish pie shell
1 cup
(4 oz.)
shredded Swiss cheese, divided
1 cup
finely chopped, cooked ham
2
green onions, sliced
1 can
(12 fl. oz.)
NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
3
large eggs
1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon
salt
1/8 teaspoon
ground black pepper
Directions
PREHEAT oven to 350° F.
SPRINKLE 1/2 cup cheese, ham and green onions into pie shell. Whisk together evaporated milk, eggs, flour, salt and black pepper in large bowl. Pour mixture into pie shell; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
BAKE for 45 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
VARIATION: For a lattice-top quiche, use ready-made pie pastry for single crust pie. Cut pastry into 1/2-inch-wide strips. Lay pastry strips over filling in lattice-fashion, turning pastry over outside edge of dish. Bake as directed above.
FOR MINI-QUICHE APPETIZERS, use 1 1/2 packages (3 crusts) refrigerated pie crusts. Grease miniature muffin pans. Unfold crust on lightly floured surface. Cut fourteen 2 1/2-inch circles from each crust. Press 1 circle of dough into bottom and up sides of each cup. Repeat with remaining crusts. Combine cheese, ham, green onions, 2/3 cup (5 fl.-oz. can) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk, 2 eggs (lightly beaten), 2 tablespoons flour, salt and black pepper in large bowl; mix well. Spoon mixture into crusts, filling 3/4 full. Bake in preheated 350° F. oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until crusts are golden brown. Cool slightly; lift quiche from cup with tip of knife. Serve warm or cool and freeze for later entertaining. Makes 3 1/2 dozen.

Ham & Swiss Quiche
This is my favorite quiche to make! I usually add a little more cheese then the recipe calls for as I love the extra kick it gives. This is my husbands favorite breakfast treat! Another home run VBB!

Ham & Swiss Quicke
This is my first attempt at making quiche. I made my pie crust from scratch. The quiche recipe was easy and delicious. I have never used Carnation Evaporated Milk before for baking and will certainly try more recipes using this product.

I made this with Easter ham leftovers. Boy we had a lot of leftovers. The family loved it. I think next time I'll make 2 so there's some leftovers from my leftovers!
