I used to make this cheese and chive quiche recipe using two cans of corned beef hash, but I switched to a meatless version. I don't miss the meat a bit, and my family loves generous portions. -Theresa Jerger, Holland, Indiana

HAM AND SWISS CHEESE QUICHE

Ham and Swiss Cheese Quiche image

This quiche has been a family favorite for many years. Very tasty and fairly easy to make. It has a mild flavor and even my kids liked it (if they couldn't see the green pepper.) You can use left over ham or as I often do ham lunch meat. This does make a very full pie crust.
