Ham & Collards Quiche image

I love quiche and wanted to make something that incorporates my Southern roots, so I came up with this version. With eggs, cheese, ham and nutritious collards, it's a meal in one. -Billie Williams-Henderson, Bowie, Maryland

I'm not a big fan of quiche, but this one was really good. The crust was flaky and the filling was creamy and flavorful.
