I seem to be making a lot of quiche lately. I am okay with that, I think.
This quiche is light and fluffy and really very good.
The combination of ham and Swiss cheese is delightful. Those two ingredients really do go well together in many applications.
I did use a store bought pastry crust. I know, I know, I should have made it from scratch. I really didn’t want to cook the night I made this though. I figured just use the store bought and make dinner instead of going out. So that’s what I did.
The eggs come out super fluffy and creamy. I used half and half for the cream portion.
The quiche also sets well in the 45 minutes of cooking time. It wasn’t runny in the middle at all!
