DENVER QUICHE
This recipe is by Abby Mandel, cookbook author, syndicated food columnist, and a James Beard Foundation award winner. I use a regular quiche pan since I don't have one with a removable bottom.

Steps:
- 1. Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat the oven to 325 degrees.
- 2. Heat the butter or oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When it's hot, add the onion, bell pepper, ham, salt and pepper to taste.
- 3. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the flour. Set aside.
- 4. Whisk the eggs well in a large bowl. Whisk in the cream, stir in the Gruyere and Fontina cheeses and the vegetable mixture. Ladle into the cooled crust. Set the pan on a baking sheet. Bake the quiche until it is puffed and golden, 55 to 60 minutes.
- 5. Cool it at least 15 minutes before serving.
- 6. Remove the ring; slide the quiche off the bottom and onto a large serving plate. This can also be served at room temperature.
- 7. Each serving: 520 calories; 536 mg sodium; 274 mg cholesterol; 32 grams fat; 22 grams saturated fat; 34 grams carbohydrates; 23 grams protein; 2.40 grams fiber.
- 8. Comments: The filling can be varied - substitute any good melting cheese (about 1 1/2 cups) and use any other cooked vegetables (about 2 cups).
- 9. I used a 2-inch-deep quiche pan, which produces a nice quiche slice. To bake the crust, lightly grease the quiche pan, fit the pastry into it, trim it to 1/4-inch above the edge and bake as directed on the package.
