Quiche

Brush 1 frozen pie crust with frothy egg white. Bake crust at 400° for 7 minutes (do not prick crust).

1/2 c. cubed ham
1/4 cube butter or margarine
1/3 c. finely chopped onion
1 small can mushrooms

Fry the above ingredients in skillet until onion is tender.

Whisk:
4 eggs
1 c. half & half
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. lemon pepper

Don't overbeat eggs. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded swiss cheese in bottom of baked crust. Add ham mixture, then egg mixture. Sprinkle with nutmeg (optional... I have never used the nutmeg). Reduce oven heat to 375° and bake for approx. 35 min. or until knife comes out clean.

I got this recipe from Grandma Berlin when my kids were little. It is a favorite in our family... by far the best Quiche I have ever had! When we were in St. George, Brian mentioned how good it sounded but unfortunately, it wasn't on the blog so we couldn't make it:(. We have had it for dinner more times than for breakfast... we have even made it when we are camping in a dutch oven (you just have to use refrigerated pie crust instead of the frozen. Enjoy!
