Ham, Sausage or Bacon Quiche

1 9in. pie crust

1 cup half and half

2 eggs

1 cup diced ham, bacon, or cooked ground sausage (drained)

1 cup grated Cheddar cheese

1/2 cup chopped onions (optional)

salt and pepper to taste

Prick bottom of pie crust and pre-bake for 5 minutes in 400 degree oven. In a small bowl, lightly beat eggs and half and half. Add dash of salt and pepper. Sprinkle ham or sausage, cheese and onions in pie crust. Pour egg mixture into pie crust until all filling is covered. Bake at 400 for 30 minutes or until the top is nicely browned and filling is set.

This is one of my favorite easy recipes. I fix a ham and sausage quiche every Christmas morning along with hot grits. I buy cooked ham in the deli and have them slice it a little thick then I cube it and cook until brown before adding it to the mixture. You can also make this the night before so all you have to do is put it into the oven the next morning.
