This hearty Ham and Potato Quiche will please any “real men” in your life! witiJ Ham and Potato Quiche 10-inch unbaked pie crust 112-ounce can evaporated milk or 1 % cups half and half or light cream 1 tablespoon flour % teaspoon salt Dash pepper 3 eggs 2 cups shredded potatoes (2 large or about 1 pound) 1 green onion, sliced 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese (4 mean vice! ounces, or 6 to 8 slices) 1 cup diced cooked ham (about 6 ounces) 1. Fit pie crust to a 10-inch pie plate, a deep dish plate or a quiche pan. 2. Beat milk and flour together until smooth, then beat in eggs. Stir in remaining ingredients and pour into pie crust. Filling will puff a little in the oven, so don’t fill the crust to the brim. Cook any extra in a custard cup. (Preheat oven to 425°F.) 3. Leave uncovered and microwave on high for 7 to 8 minutes, until the filling is set about 1-inch in from the edges. 4. Transfer to preheated range oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until browned and set near the center. Let stand about 5 minutes before cutting for easier serving. Tips: - Substitute a 12-ounce package of frozen hash brown potatoes for the fresh. Microwave frozen potatoes in package on high for 5 to 6 minutes to defrost before mixing with eggs. - If you have a food processor, make the pie crust first. Then coarsely chop the cheese and the ham, and shred the potatoes last. You won’t have to wash the bowl until you’re done and the potatoes won’t darken. - If you want to bake the quiche entirely in the microwave, prebake the pie crust before filling. Then prepare as directed, and microwave as shown in the SERVING THE FARMERS FOR 114 YEARS HAMBURG SAVINGS FDIC and I lrl% tmict rnypmY irmtM *»ojii <o*»o«*tioM iiiudi vunirfUii Hamburg, PA Phone: 215-562-3811 A FULL SERVICE BANK Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 26,1966-19 Mushroom Quiche below.

Use the tuning above for the Ham and Potato Quiche as a guideline for baking times. If you have a micro/convection oven, use this to bake your quiche. I can’t give you the exact baking times, since each brand of micro/convection works dif ferently. However, use this technique: 1. Prepare quiche as directed using an unbaked pie crust. Preheat convection to 450*F. 2. Bake quiche on convection heat only for about 10 minutes at 450*F. to cook the crust. 3. Reduce convection heat to 350°F., and use microwaves and convection heat combined to finish baking the filling. Bake until it is set in the center. I would estimate that in most ovens this last step would take 15 to 20 minutes. Note: The microwave times above are for ovens with 600-700 watts of power. For 500-600 W, add 10 seconds to each minute; for 400- 500 W, add 20 seconds to eac ’ minute. Copyright MM, Lull Bloomer secretary; and Andrew Allen, news reporter.
