And then I got pregnant. And suddenly I loved eggs in any form. I CRAVED eggs. I walked around for nine months singing, "Ya gotta love it, the incredible, edible egg!" (Nick got kind of tired of that. I'm sure it wasn't annoying at all.) My love for eggs outlasted my pregnancy, and now I am a big fan of all things ovum. :)
This mini quiche recipe is kind of an amalgam of about six quiche recipes from http://thefoodnetwork.com. I took my favorite bits of several different recipes and put them all together. Viola! My favorite mini quiche!
MY FAVORITE MINI QUICHE
- 5 eggs
- 1 2/3 cups half-and-half
- 1 cup diced ham, browned**
- 4 small scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
Beat eggs in a large bowl, then add in half-and-half and mix well. Stir in scallions, ham, and cheese. Divide evenly into muffin pan lined with metal cup liners. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. (Makes 18 mini quiches.)
**In Germany, the land of ham, I was able to find pre-diced ham. I browned it in a skillet for about 5 minutes and was good to go. Easiest prep ever.

**If you don't want mini quiches, this is a great recipe to follow exactly: Paula Deen's Hash Brown Quiche.
You Americans are so funny! You say you speak English yet to me, it's evident you have created a language all your own. What in the world is "half-and-half" and "Scallions."(???) Cheddar Cheese, however, we're speaking exactly the same language my culinary cultured friend ;) P.S. We Brits measure in kilos and grams or pounds and ounces – this “cup” malarkie could take some getting used to! x
ReplyDeleteOf course you love it. It has nearly 2 cups of half and half in it!
ReplyDeleteThese were DELICIOUS! I'm going to have to try them.

I can't believe you didn't like eggs growing up. That's crazy. :)

Dear Swatty, I will gladly offer translation services...for a nominal fee. And "this 'cup' malarkie" as you call it is actually what the rest of the world calls "English" units of measure. :)
ReplyDeleteMom, you KNOW how I love half-and-half!
Harmony, I'm so glad you liked them! But I'm afraid sneaking in veggies is a no-go. Ella picked out each and every speck of green in both of hers. :)
Wow, you're kidding. That girl is a tough little cookie! We're going to have to start getting creative here.
