Egg, Ham, and Cheese Quiche

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 35 min. MAKES: 12 servings (2 pies)

Ingredients

1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie pastry

2 cups diced fully cooked ham (we tried it with bacon and had the second pie as a sausage pie.  Both were delicious!)

2 cups (8 ounces) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

2 teaspoons dried minced onion

4 large eggs

2 cups half-and-half cream

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Unroll pastry sheets into two 9-in. pie plates; flute edges. Line unpricked pastry shells with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Fill with pie weights, dried beans or uncooked rice. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove foil and weights; bake 3-5 minutes longer or until bottom is golden brown. Cool on wire racks.
2. Divide ham, cheese and onion between shells. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cream, salt and pepper until blended. Pour into shells. Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand 5-10 minutes before cutting.
   Freeze option: Cover and freeze unbaked quiche. To use, remove from freezer 30 minutes before baking (do not thaw). Preheat oven to 350°. Place quiche on a baking sheet; cover edge loosely with foil. Bake as directed, increasing time as necessary for a knife inserted near the center to come out clean. Yield: 2 quiches (6 servings each).

Easy Swedish Meatballs

While they bake, combine and heat the following in a saucepan:

1 can cream of chicken soup

Stir the meatballs into the sauce. Serve over rice.

Can also be made by browning the meatballs in a skillet, then adding the sauce and heating it up.
