HAM & CHEESE QUICHE

I have used this same recipe for traditional quiche for years and adapted it today to use what I had on hand. It was a pleasant success.

1/2 pound diced ham
1 cup finely grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 shallot finely chopped
4 eggs
2 cups whipping cream
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1 deep pie crust

• Preheat oven to 425°.
• Pre-bake the pie crust and cool before filling.
• Lightly saute shallot and ham.
  
• Sprinkle the ham and onion and grated cheddar cheese evenly into crust.
• Beat the eggs, whipping cream and seasonings until well blended. Pour over mixture in pie crust.
• Bake 15 minutes and then reduce heat to 300° and bake an additional 35-45 minutes or until just golden and knife comes out clean.
• Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
