Ham Quiche

Easter is just around the corner and many dinner hams will grace the family dinner table.  This Ham Quiche recipe is a fresh idea for the leftover ham.

The ham and Swiss cheese fills the the quiche dish to the top. The egg/milk mixture just fills in the remaining available room.

I like to serve it with a nice green salad.

This quiche just melts in your mouth!
