Serve Quiche for
a Spring Brunch
luiche is an er "tie
qi jgg pie, ..
cheese, meat, and or vegetables
cooked in it. It is delicious for a
company breakfast, brunch, or in
fact, any time of day!
If your family balks at new
things and doesn’t want to eat a
“quiche”, just call it an egg pie!
This minor deception worked well
in our house, and later I told my
boys what a funny name the
French have for egg pie quiche!
Quiche is a favorite now!
The only problem with making a
quiche, is that it takes almost an
hour to bake in a range oven. Using
your microwave to help bake it will
solve this problem!
A quiche baked entirely in the
microwave takes about 20 minutes
io cook. But since it doesn’t brown
at all, it doesn’t “look so hot” by
most people’s standards.

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

Saddle Cinches Horse and Pony Club
The April meeting of the Saddle
Cinches 4-H Horse and Pony Club
will be held April 28 at 7:30 p.m. at

sale will be held before and after
the meeting. Members are urged
to bring used equipment and
outfits they have outgrown or no
longer use.

in March, Rhonda Gibble,

- Use an unbaked pie shell if
you want to bake the quiche in the
microwave and then the range.
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.
